REPORT

OF THE

SELECTMEN OE THE TOWN OF SOMERVILLE.

Fellow Citizens : —

In presenting to you the twenty-sixth Annual Report of the
Town of Someiwille, we have to say that no marked events have
occurred to disturb the progress and prospects of its affairs.

We ask yonr attention to the following Report :

HIGHWAYS.

A larger work has been performed upon the highways the
ast year than ever before, but much as has been performed,
; our Board earnestly recommend an increase of force and
naterial to finish work now suffering to be done.

Your Board regretted that the appropriation asked for at the
meeting in November last, to enable them to purchase a stone-
breaking Machine, was not voted, and we are unanimously of
the opinion that the appropriation should be made at the next
Town Meeting.

The nature of our streets is such that nothing but stone is
suitable to dress them with, and in most of our thoroughfares
stone is indispensably necessary to stand the heavy teaming
which is almost constantly passing over them, but little progress
can be made through the cold winter months in preparing a
sufficient quantity of the right material for our spring require-
ments, so that some of our principal streets which are now
necessarily in poor condition, might soon be made inviting to
travel. By the energetic measures of the Superintendent of
Streets, as much has been done the past year as we could
reasonably anticipate.

•

r

Most of the streets which have been accepted for the last two
years have remained without scarcely any labor or material
having been expended upon them, our whole appropriation
being necessarily expended for ordinary repairs.

The cutting and grading of that part of School Street lying
between Broadway and Medford Streets has been contracted for,
under such conditions that the work will be completed without
expense to the town. The work is so extensive that some
months will be required to complete it.

SEWERAGE.

In connection with the subject of highways the importance of
drainage should be considered, and your Board would recom-
nlend a liberal appropriation therefor. One of the most import-
ant places, and the first which should have your attention, is
Linwood Street, running from Washington to Milk Row. Your
Board received a very numerously signed petition of the abutters
on said street, and upon its being acted upon by the Board, it
was decided to have a plan and profile so that they could see the
feasibility of the work and estimate its cost. Said plan is now
on file. The plan points out a very feasible way of running tli3
Sewer, and we should have had it constructed the last autumn
but for the lateness of the season before the plan was completed.

The benefit to the neighborhood which will result by con-
structing a sewer according to the plan above referred to, cannot
be over valued. The health of the thickly settled population on
and around Linwood Street should be considered, and in the
midst of them is a large school-house literally packed with chil-
dren, who throughout the summer months are breathing the
foul atmosphere of that neighborhood.

The petitioners are anxious to have the Sewer built, and
willing to pay their full share of the expense. We only refer to
this as one of the places where the surface-water should be
removed for the health of the different neighborhoods, if there
were no other considerations.

The Sewer upon Marshall Street has been completed, and has
undoubtedly enhanced the value of real estate abutting upon
and benefited by it many times its full cost.

Your Board, in making the award for the above sewer, assessed
three-fourths upon those benefited, and one-fourth to the town,
which award, we are pleased to say, has given general satisfaction.

NEW STREETS.

The new highway as laid out by the County Commissioners,
and running from Broadway to Elm Street, is so far towards
completion that we think it will be ready for presentation to the
Commissioners some time in June next. Your Board consider
this street of great value to the abutters, and convenience to
the town.

TURNPIKE.

The Turnpike, so called, was put under contract in August
last, but the season was so far advanced that it was found im-
possible to finish the work until the coming spring.

TOWN LEDGES.

The appropriations made last spring for the purchase of one
or more ledges for the use of highways has been expended by
the purchase of one adjoining the one now owned by the town —
but nearly worked out — on Bond Street, and another contain-
ing over five acres lying between Broadway and the new street,
and which is cut by the latter. This ledge we consider of great
value to the town, it being opened upon by two streets which
lead nearly through the town, viz. : Broadway on the northerly
side, and Elm Street and Milk Row on the southerly side. A
very good bed of gravel has been found to exist upon the last
named lot, which is the only gravel owned by the town within
its limits.

RAILROAD BRIDGES.

The Board have arranged with the Boston and Lowell Rail-
road Company to widen the Bridges over their road on Cross,
Central and Cedar Streets, at which places much inconvenience
has been experienced by the narrowness of the Bridges upon
their approaches at the above places.

6

The Bridge over Cross Street and its approaches are nearly
completed. The Boston and Lowell Railroad Company have
manifested a ready disposition to meet the wishes of your Board
with regard to the above alterations.

The Bridges on Prospect and Washington Streets over the
Fitchburg Railroad are in a similar condition to those over the
Boston and Lowell Railroad, and we hope soon to see them
widened in like manner.

STREET LAMPS.

Much interest was manifested in Town Meeting last spring to
have additional Lamps placed along our thoroughfares through-
out the town. The liberal appropriation then voted has been
expended for that purpose. In several localities the citizens
desired lamp-posts placed nearer together than the town appro-
priation would allow, and with the money paid by them added to
the sum voted by the town has enabled your Board to add about
seventy new Lamps the past year, making the whole number of
Public Lamps now lighted, one hundred and ninety-four. One
hundred and eight are south of the Boston and Lowell Railroad,
and eighty-six are on the north side. Forty -one of the above are
for the present lighted with oil. Much benefit is derived to the
town by well-lighted streets. It makes our highways safer for
travel, and the town generally inviting to builders, and your
Board are of the opinion that a liberal spirit should at all times
be shown in improving our streets and sidewalks.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The Fire Department of Somerville is small, but it is kept in
such efficient condition that the interests of the town have not
suffered, and being fortunately surrounded, aid has been fur-
nished by which all fires have been as well managed as could be,
considering our facilities for a supply of water. Two Reservoirs
of great value have been added this year, at a comparatively
small cost, both costing only about one-half the usual cost of
one. We hope before the lapse of another year we may have an
addition to our present water facilities which will enable the

town to place Hydrants in many streets where, at this time, we
are entirely without water facilities in case of fire.

We refer you for particulars of the Department to the annexed
Report of the Engineer.

ENGINEER'S REPORT.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:

Gentlemen, — In compliance with the usual customs, I here-
with submit the Report of the Board of Engineers of the Somer-
ville Eire Department.

Since our last Report the Department has been called out
29 times, 12 times from fire in town, and 7 times from fires in
Charlestown, 4 from fires in Cambridge, 1 in Roxbury, and 5
false alarms. The Department have rendered assistance in
Charlestown 4 times, and received assistance 4 times ; they
have rendered assistance in Cambridge once. It will be seen
that the number of fires in town are 5 less than last year, and
the number of alarms 12 less than last year. Although we have
had less in number, yet our loss has been quite heavy, having
lost three churches the past year, the fire having so much head-
way when discovered that it was impossible to save them. It
may seem strange to some of our people that we do not save these
large buildings, but allow me to say that it is not because the
Department do not try as hard as any Department can, and if
they will notice the reports of other cities and towns, they will
see that it is very seldom that a church is saved, if it takes fire
in the tower end of the building, owing to the draft which con-
ducts the fire to the roof. There are some people who always
have taken a great deal of pride in finding fault with the manner
in which the Department have performed their duty. In some
cases, I believe, it is owing to prejudice, and in many cases, from
ignorance of the duty of a fireman. It is much easier for a per-
son to find fault with others than to perform the duty himself,
and I think that there has been and still are some who would
like to see the Department broken up, to satisfy selfish motives.

There have been some changes in the Department during the
past year, and I think it is at present in a better condition than
it has before been since its organization.

8

WATER.

Although it will be seen that our town has grown very fast
the past two years, and the liability for fires increasing, yet our
people are unmindful of the very important thing that is necessary
to stay a conflagration. It is water. It will be seen by those who
have attended the fires at some of the churches, that we have
been compelled to force the water 1,600 feet, and up a grade of
TO to 80 feet, thereby requiring a great strain both on the
engine and hose. It is hoped that this evil will be remedied by
a better supply. Since our last Report there have been two
Reservoirs built, one in front of the Town Stable, on Prospect
Street, and another on Walnut Street, at a comparatively small
cost, with an inexhaustible supply of water. There have been
two Hydrants attached to the pipes at Winter Hill. At the
present time there are 27 Hydrants and 8 Reservoirs in town,
24 of the Hydants and 5 Reservoirs are situated on the north
and easterly side of the Lowell Railroad. It will be seen by the
above table that some portions of our town must have a xery
poor supply.

It is hoped that before another year expires we shall have the
Mystic Lake water in all parts of our town, running through
nothing less than six or eight inch pipes.

ALARM.

Since our last Report we have had no addition to our facilities ;
they have been injured in some parts of the town by the loss of
the church bells, and in one locality by the use of an alarm bell
for school purposes, which, should a fire break out in that
locality while the bell is being rung for school, would cause a
great delay in spreading the alarm, and might result in the loss
of much property. It is hoped before long to have the Telegraph
Alarm, which would prove of great advantage in case of fire.

It having been suggested by some of the residents of the
northerly part of the town that a Hose Carriage is much needed
on Winter Hill, we would recommend it to your consideration.

The Board of Engineers would recommend the removal of the
Lock-up or Station-House, located in the building occupied by the

9

Department, and that that part of the building be used for the
Hook and Ladder Carriage, with suitable rooms in the second
story for sleeping rooms for the men permanently employed, as
the room now occupied by them is unfit for men to sleep in,
owing to the dampness of the cellar ; and they would also recom-
mend the building of a Hose Tower, in connection with this
building, 50 feet high, as it would prove a saying in Hose, and
the one now in use being less than half large enough for the
quantity of hose which is required for use.

The Department now consists of one Steam Fire Engine,
which has had some valuable improvements attached the past
year, and is now believed to be equal to any engine in this vicinity,
with an Engineer and Driver permanently employed.

A Hose Carriage, run in connection with the Engine, carry-
ing 1,000 feet 2\ inch leather hose, and has proved a great addi-
tion to the Department, with a company of 10 men, the driver
of which is permanently employed.

One four wheeled Hose Carriage, in charge of the John E.
Wool Hose Company, which has been repaired and painted the
past year, and is in good condition, carrying 600 feet 2J inch
hose.

One hose pung, for the use of the above company, with a
company of 15 men.

One Hook and Ladder Truck, drawn by a horse.

One hand Engine, Somerville Xo. 1, with hose carriage, which
is in working condition at all times.

HOSE.

There is in the Department,

1,200 feet single riveted hose, good.
1,500 feet double riveted hose, good.
500 feet single riveted hose, almost worthless.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

DAVID A. SANBORN, Jr.,
Chief Engineer Somerville Fire Department.

POLICE AND WATCH.

The appropriation made last spring for one or more perma-
nent Watchmen has been partially expended for temporary
watching.

The past year has been one of unusual quiet, and your Board
did not deem it necessary to appoint permanent watch as in-
tended when the appropriation was made. We feel that the
result of the temporary watch has been of much benefit to the
town, by preventing disturbances and depredations upon fruit
gardens, &c. For particulars in this Department we refer you
to the Secretary of Police's Report herewith annexed.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Somerville :

In accordance with the usual custom, the officers of the Police
Department submit the following Report for the year ending
January 28, 1868 :

Whole number of arrests, one hundred and thirty-seven, an
increase of sixty-nine from last year.

Amount of imprisonments by sentence, 2 years and 6 months.

We feel that the time has arrived when this town needs a day
and night police force just as much as Charlestown or Cam-
bridge, and that we suffer by the vigilence of our neighbors, is
undoubtedly true. Rogues will congregate where they are not
watched. Our large and rapidly increasing population in the
southerly and eastern part of the town need a regular day-officer
in each location, and a watch at night.

No one conversant in such matters can say this town can be
well and properly cared for and protected without good officers
in each district, regularly appointed and paid, who shall give
their whole services to the town. The present officers have ever
been willing to work for the good of the town, and work together,
but under the present system, much has to be left undone which,
with a regularly organized police force, could not fail of being
accomplished.

During the last few months two officers have been on duty at
night in different sections of the town, and a part of the time
four men have done duty. Although that is as much as could
be reasonably expected, after the action of the town at the
meeting in March last, yet it leaves a large and widely extended
beat for the men to travel.

We feel assured your honorable Board will lay the matter be-
fore the town, in its proper light, and that the citizens will see
the importance of the establishment of an organized Police
Department.

Respectfully submitted.

JARIUS MANX,
Secretary Somerville Police Department.

CEMETERY.

With regard to this long agitated subject, we have to say that
as jet the Board have been unable to locate one.

HORSE RAILROADS.

A good deal of dissatisfaction is being felt throughout the
town with regard to the tracks being placed upon the sides of
the streets, and the Board feel that the town suffers on account
of such location, and that it is very damagiDg to the property
of citizens located upon the same side of the way, and is cer-
tainly a great drawback to the proper repair of the two thor-
oughfares upon which said tracks are located.

We cannot close our Report, fellow citizens, without congrat-
ulating you upon the apparent prosperity — and we believe it to
be real — of our town. One of the principal evidences of its
strength and rapid growth is the unprecedented amount of
building which has been done the last year, and which is still
progressing, not in any particular location, but in all parts of
the town can be seen this evidence of undoubted thrift.

From statistics carefully obtained, we find that the whole
number of new buildings erected since January 1, 1867, to be
two hundred and eighty-seven, two hundred and thirty-nine of
which are dwelling-houses, twenty-two of these being double
houses, making two hundred and sixty-one additional tenements
in one year. Besides the above work, additions and alterations
have been made upon fifty-five other buildings, and all indica-
tions point to an equal increase the ensuing year.

Considering this rapid growth, and in viewing the noble
monuments which have been erected upon the spots once deso-
lated by the torch of the incendiary, we feel proud of the spirit
and enterprise of the citizens of Somerville.

GEORGE 0, BRASTOW, J

By vote of the town, passed at the April meeting of this year,
the different departments were instructed to close their accounts
and make their Reports up to December 31st. Consequently,
the Financial Report will only show receipts and disbursements
for ten months, commencing March 1, 1867, and ending Decem-
ber 31st, 1867.

The gross amount of receipts are $228,636.04, and the dis-
bursements are $211,361.69, leaving in the Treasury, cash,
January 1, 1868, $17,274.35.

The whole amount of taxes assessed for 1867, including abate-
ments and discounts, was $142,684.

There remained of 1864, uncollected, $96.25; of 1865,
82.414.02 ; of 1866, $7,767.54 making a total of $152,961.81,
of which the Treasurer has received on 1864, $49.75 ; on 1865,
$847.30; on 1866, $4,608.02; on 1867, $111,739.12, making
the gross amount collected and paid the Treasurer, $117,244.19.

The Treasurer has also received from J. H. Lord, Esq., State
Treasurer, on account of Corporation Taxes, $2,569.75, also on
account of State Aid refunded, $7,700.

By referring to notes payable, annexed, it will be seen that
the debt of the town has increased since March 1, 1867, $40,200,
making the town debt December 31, 1867, $189,474.

This increase, at first sight, looks bad, but there is another
side to this question. While our debt has increased $40,200,
the value of town property, at a very moderate appraisement,
has increased $59,250.

These figures are low. The most of our School Buildings
have received repairs and additional and improved furniture,
while the Prescott and Foster School Houses, with the land and
improvements, are set at very low figures.

14

Ledges for repairs of highways have been bought, and other
improvements made.

State Aid has been paid to the families of soldiers by order of
the Selectmen, to the amount of $4,771, and Town Aid has, or
will be used during the winter, in aid of soldiers' families to the
extent of the appropriation ($500,) and this amount should be
again voted for their benefit.

Ten thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($10,250) of the
town debt falls due in 1868, and the Treasurer would recom-
mend a commencement in reduction to that extent, and would
suggest that all calls for money the coming year be assessed and
collected on the valuation of the town, which is increasing very
fast. It is believed that at least 225 dwellings have been built
in this town the past year, and they are still going up in all
directions. This indicates increasing wealth, and consequently
ability to meet all necessary expenses of the town without
increase of indebtedness.

It will be seen by annexed accounts that the unexpended
balances of appropriations amount to $43,749.51, to meet the
calls from the different departments on these balances. We have
cash in the Treasury amounting to $17,274.35. Uncollected
taxes, $25,722.70.

The State School fund has not yet been received.

There is to be refunded from the State some $700 for military
services. Also collections from abutters on Marshall Street, say
$2,000. •

These amounts will undoubtedly meet all calls until the time
of the usual meetings for appropriations, at which time the
Treasurer's balance will, as usual, be small, or on the wrong
side of the Ledger, and the town will be a borrower in anticipa-
tion of taxes.

The Treasurer has, for the information of citizens that do not
take much interest in town meetings, appended a list of appro-
priations and financial votes, passed by the town at the April
meeting.

The above remarks, with annexed accounts, are respectfully
submitted.

THOMAS CUNNINGHAM,

Treasurer of Town of Somerville.

THOMAS CUNNINGHAM, Treasurer.

§tpxi tft tfc ^Bxmtm ot Vkt l£mx<

It has been deemed advisable by us to submit a brief state-
ment of the most important matters that have come within the
sphere of our action the past year, although there may be no-
thing of any special importance or interest. The Treasurer's
Statement of disbursements and receipts on Poor account, will
show the amount of money expended and received to January
1, 1868. But it does not show very clearly for whom, or how,
expended ; as nearly every dollar for partial support is drawn
from the Treasury by parties furnishing fuel, groceries, and
various articles, on the orders of our Board. At the present
time, there are only four persons receiving full support from the

46

Town ; viz.: Henry Kinsley, at the Vermont Asylum, Brattle-
borough, at an expense of $100 per annum ; Truman Morrill,
Mrs. Bridget Bradburn and her daughter Ellen, thirteen years
old, at the Charlestown Almshouse, at $2.50 per week, for the
two first, and about $2 per week for the last named. The cost
per annum for these four persons will not vary much from $550,
including clothing, &c, furnished. The sum appropriated for
Poor account by the town, at its April meeting, was $2500,
which leaves $1950 for relief and partial support of destitute
and needy persons. Of this class, we have upon our books eigh-
ty-three names entered, since the first day of October last, most
of whom are widows, having families of children dependent
upon them for support. The average number belonging to these
families is not less than four persons each family, giving an ag-
gregate of 332 persons. Others will apply for aid within the
year, sufficient to swell the number to 400 persons. More than
90 per cent, of these persons have no settlement in this Common-
wealth, and therefore have no legal claim upon the town, further
than to remove them to the State Almshouse, at Tewksbury,
when they fall into distress, but most of the children of these
families were born in Somerville, and have entered our schools,
in which many of them are receiving important training, and
culture. It will be seen by the foregoing figures, that the aver-
age sum expended on each of these persons does not exceed
$5.00 per annum, which is only about one-third the average cost
per scholar of our schools, if we compute the interest on the
cost of school-houses furnished by the town. Fuel for the ex-
treme cold weather of the year, is one of the principal articles
furnished these families. Most of which, during some seven
months in the year, ask no assistance from the town. In aiding
this class of persons the practice of our town has been more
liberal than that of the cities near which we are located. Very
little is done for such persons by many cities and towns, except
to remove them to State Almshouses, when destitution and in-
tense suffering; shall ring from them a reluctant consent to such
removal. There has, no doubt, been cases where the munifi-
cence of the town has been bestowed upon unworthy and unde-
serving persons whose distinguishing characteristics seem to be j
to squander and misapply their own earnings, as well as any

!;

47

charity extended to them. But these are exceptions, and when-
ever it becomes known to us that the charities of the town are
abused by such persons, further aid is withheld. The prevail-
ing rule, we think, is this, that the comparatively small sum ex-
pended by this town in proportion to its population is, and has
been, instrumental in relieving, and preventing a large amount
of suffering, and of holding up and keeping together many
families, when weak, until they became strong enough to take
care of themselves ; and therefore has resulted in accomplishing
great good. We hope the same policy will be continued by the
town in future.

In consequence of the general depression of business, and the
small demand for labor, the present winter, thus far, has been
an unfavorable one for persons dependent almost wholly on
their daily labor for support.

The cost of living is very high, so that the regular earnings
of a common laborer are only sufficient to keep a small family
supplied with the necessaries of life.

We have had several applications for relief of families where
a healthy father and mother were among its members, ready and
willing to labor, if employment could be found for them, but for
which, we were told, they had searched in vain, rendering it
necessary for them, to save their families from suffering, to have
recourse to the charities of the town, as the last alternative left
them. We have had at least two cases where families have a
military settlement in town under the Statute of 1835, Chap.
230. These men are apparently able and willing to labor. They
have served long and honorably in the armies of the Nation in
its recent gigantic struggle for national existence, and each
counted as a man of Somerville. They havp families to support,
and having exhausted their means of living, and being unable
to find employment, they too have come to the poor department
for relief.

We would ask our fellow-citizens if there cannot be adopted
some other method than this, more compatible with our sense of
justice and moral obligations, and more congenial to the feelings
of veteran soldiers, for the relief of his physical wants ?

We hope to be able, notwithstanding the adverse circumstances
to which we have adverted, to keep within the appropriation of the

48

year for " Support of Poor." Quite a percentage of what we
are now expending is for relief of persons belonging to other
places, but now residing in our town, and in whose behalf ex-
penses thus incurred, will be reimbursed to the town.

The number of paupers receiving full support from the town
has ever been very small in proportion to our population, and
until this number shall materially increase, there can be no ne-
cessity for providing a Town Almshouse, to superintend which
and its inmates, would cost the town much more than for the full
support of its present small number of paupers.

We will refer now particularly to Ellen Bradburn, thirteen
years old, at the Charlestown Almshouse, hoping that by so doing
it will meet the eye of some one of our citizens who will take
her into his family, in the capacity of servant, extending to
her all reasonable and proper privileges and advantages. The
number of applicants for relief having become too large to be
received into our residences ; we have since last November held
regular meetings of the Board twice a week, at the court room,
to hear applications, consider and act upon the same. Thus
far this plan has, we think, worked well, for all parties concerned,
as all our transactions appear on one set of books, and the col-
lective judgment of the Board is at command when intricate
cases arise requiring its exercise.

The condition and prospects of the Public Schools warrant the
Committee in presenting a cheerful view of the important trust
committed to their supervision.

The uniform liberality hitherto manifested in all matters per-
taining to the education of the young, is indicative of a high ap-
preciation of this vital interest, and the best possible guarantee
that it will be generously cared for in the future.

Circumstances beyond our control have operated unfavorably
upon some of the schools during the past year : hence we can-
not apply to all of them the commendations of former years.
But in regard to many of them we can affirm with great confi-
dence that they are of the highest order and would be honored
by a comparison with the best in our neighboring cities. It will
be our constant endeavor to render all of them equally merito-
rious.

Much sickness has prevailed the past year, especially among
the pupils of the Primary Schools.

The destruction of the Prescott School-house by fire, placed
the schools, which had occupied that building, in circumstances
very unfavorable for the prosecution of study, and has occasioned
them a great and irreparable loss.

It has been our unpleasant duty to accept the resignation of
several of our most highly valued teachers, — an event always
to be deplored, but one to which we shall ever be liable so long
as our inducements are less than those at the disposal of other
committees.

At the close of the Summer Term, Mr. Babcock, for nine
years Principal of the High School, and Miss Reed for seven
years, his First Assistant, tendered to the Committee their res-
ignation. Few teachers have merited and enjoyed, so largely as
these, the confidence and esteem of all their pupils and an en-
tire community.

The exalted character they and their associate teacher gave
to our High School is evidence of their fidelity and admirable
fitness for the positions they occupied so long to the entire satis-
faction of successive Committees.

In September, Mr. Littlefield, the popular and highly success-
ful Principal of the Franklin School, resigned the position he
had filled with marked ability for fifteen years.

9

90

The resignation of Mr. Littlefield was soon followed by that of
his First Assistant, Miss Maria L. Macomber, a teacher highly
regarded by the Committee.

All of these vacancies have been filled. How wisely, must be
decided by the unerring test of experience.

The new School House on Elm Street was dedicated with ap-
propriate ceremonies on the twenty-third day of March. This
building the Committee have named the Lincoln School House,
as a token of personal regard for Charles S. Lincoln, Esq., and
in consideration of his valu able services, for many years, as
Chairman of the School Board.

The Forster School House was dedicated on the thirtieth day
of April and first occupied by the Schools on the second day of
May. Five rooms are now occupied, and the rapid growth of
Forster district will soon render the occupancy of additional
rooms necessary.

For the relief of the Harvard and Spring Hill Schools, two
Primary Schools have been established, one in the Bell School
House, which was moved in April, from Cherry Street to the
rear of Franklin School House, and another in a room tempora-
rily fitted up for the purpose on the corner of Park and Milk
Streets.

The Prescott School House was dedicated on the sixteenth
day of January, and first occupied by the Schools on the twen-
tieth of the same month.

For the safety of Forster and Prescott School Houses, rooms
have been finished in the basements of those buildings for the
Janitors and their families.

All the school buildings in town have been thoroughly re-
paired and painted, except the Jackson School House. The
Committee have deferred improvements on that building by the
expectation of being instructed by the Town to remove it to a
more eligible and accessible location.

All the schools are now furnished with ample accommodations
except the Union and Jackson Schools. The crowded condi-
tion of those schools requires that additional accommodations
should be furnished them without delay.

91

HIGH SCHOOL.

The High School House was completed and first occupied in
lay, 1852. For several years the second floor furnished ample
ccommodations for the High School, the first floor being used
3r a Town Hall. At the Annual meeting in 1866, an appro-
bation was made by the Town for fitting up the entire building
3r the exclusive use of the school. As soon as the Hall was
acated by the Forster School in April, measures were taken to
pply the appropriation. The rooms on the second floor have
een renovated and filled with school furniture for the accom-
lodation of the large class admitted from the Grammar Schools
t the beginning of the Fall Term. The first floor now contains

Chemical Laboratory, a Philosophical Room and two other
Recitation Rooms, all of ample size and very commodious.

In September 1859, which was the beginning of Mr. Babcock's
scond year, the High School contained forty-three pupils. At
tie time of the Annual Examination last year, the number was
ighty-eight. In September of the preient school year, the num-
er of pupils was one hundred and nineteen. This large increase
Bndered the appointment of an additional assistant teacher
ecessary.

The Reports of the several Sub-Committees, to whom was as-
igned the duty of examining the schools, are herewith ap-
ended.

GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

The examinations of our Grammar Schools indicate a good de-
ree of interest and endeavor on the part of both teacher and
upils, and generally there appears to be a mutual good feeling
xisting. The schools are evidently disciplined without resort-
:ig to harsh measures. In this grade of schools we expect much
rill be accomplished, especially in the branches required to fit
upils for the High School. Each class is expected to be thor-
ughlv and criticallv taught in all of the branches assigned to
hese schools.

Your Committee were highly gratified with the manner in

92

which the pupils in some of the schools acquitted themselves in
all of the branches pursued. The reading in one school was par-
ticularly creditable. In some of the schools, however, a higher
standard of recitation is desirable.

There appeared to have been too little attention paid to read-
ing. The classes had read too much, but had not read anything
really well, and the same want of thoroughness was more or less
manifest in other branches of study. The material seemed to be
good enough, but it had not been moulded and fashioned by
continued and critical drills. We regret very much that so
many of the applicants for admission to the High School failed
to get the required per cent, and we would suggest that the
teachers adopt a plan of semi-weekly examinations for the first
class during the entire year, and that their examinations be con-
ducted in writing out the answers to sets of questions from all
branches, similar to those required for admission to the High
School. We are confident that such a plan cannot fail to ele-
vate the standard of scholarship in our higher grade of schools.

W. K. FLETCHER, Chairman.

SUB-GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

The general appearance and condition of all the Sub-Grammar
Schools are in the highest degree satisfactory. From an expe-
rience of some twelve years in the oversight of schools, similar
to our own in system, I thought I knew the degree of efficiency
that might be looked for in such schools, even among children
as active in mind, as our own New England children, but it was
with feelings of surprise that I saw, not only what was done, but
with what apparent ease it was accomplished.

I had never witnessed such entire devotion to the duties of

their calling on the part of the teachers, nor such indications of

honorable pride in their high profession, nor such manifest care

and labor in preparing themselves for their daily tasks.

These things are the natural results of the ideas of our people,
first, as to what a school should be, and secondly, what should
be the compensation of the teacher. Much is expected, and
the remuneration is designed to be liberal, hence a superior

93

order of talent is secured and retained. Under the present sys-
tem there is danger lest the discipline should become so rigid
as to defeat the very object for which the schools are estab-
lished, but here we think the discipline is both strict and rea-
sonable, and never permitted to be so exacting as to dishearten
or oppress the weak.

GEORGE W. DURELL, Chairman.

PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

The official examination of the Primary Schools just closed
has been of a nature so satisfactory that the report must be one
of congratulation to parents in the knowledge of the uniform
faithfulness of the teachers, and of praise to the scholars and
teachers, for the very creditable manner in which they received
our visit, some of them with no notice whatever of the day on
which they were to be called upon, and all with but compara-
tively short notice in which to make preparation, the emergency
of a change in the financial year making it necessary that the
examination should be held at a much earlier date than hereto-
fore.

Within the limits of this necessarily brief report it will be im-
possible to detail each school, and where all were so good we
deem it quite unnecessary.

The success of the examination (bearing in mind the want of
preparation) evinces a familiarity with the work that had been
gone over, and showed that the foundation had been well laid.

In the first and very important branch of reading, we can
make but two qualifications in our praise, and these only appli-
cable to a very small minority of the number visited. One of
them, that of dropping the g in words ending in. ing, and of the
erroneous pronunciation of such words as law, saw, draw, &c.
Perhaps to the minds of some the exceptions we take to these
two matters may seem trivial, but we cannot refrain from men-
tioning them, and persistently urging this correction.

The pronunciation of seeing, feeling, hearing, being, having
and others of the like ending as if written, seein, feelin, hearin,
bein, havin, or of such as saw, law, draw, as sor, lor, dror, we

94

deem as of sufficient consequence to demand the attention of
parents as well as teachers, and of the latter we can testify that
in no case was the erroneous pronunciation detected in the read-
ing or conversation of a teacher, but on the contrary the strong-
est efforts we were assured had been made where such an un-
fortunate case existed to eradicate it. In this we think parents
can become most useful auxiliaries and it is all important that
it should be done at the earliest possible moment.

In only one instance did we find a scholar who could not pro-
nounce the word law correctly, but one such case did exist, and
we are satisfied that the boy tried hard to give it correctly. This
case was a little peculiar, and we may be pardoned for alluding
to it fully. At the end of a sentence he could pronounce it as
it should be, but occurring in the middle of a sentence and fol-
lowed by a vowel it was invariably lor.

We trust that parents will request their children to read news-
papers or books aloud, and note the rendering of the two classes
of words we allude to herein, that they may satisfy themselves
that their children are correct, and if not, to insist upon a proper
pronunciation by repeated trials till the fault is corrected. We
are happy to say that but few will find any cause for complaint
on that score, and by another examination we hope to find it
corrected in every case. We are aware that the last error re-
ferred to is quite common in the Boston schools, but that it is an
error, and one calling loudly for suppression, we think must be
apparent to all, and we again beg hard, in closing this reference
to reading, to urge upon those having the children in charge at
home and in school, to leave no stone unturned in rooting it
out of the mind of the children. The instructions of the home
fireside are all potent on the susceptible mind of the child, and
parents will find they cannot do better than to conduct an occa-
sional " examination " themselves, and not leave the matter
wholly to the u Report of a Committee."

In spelling, we found what we considered a very gratifying
condition in the matter of little icords in daily use, as it is these
which after all are the hardest, and any teacher will bear us out
in the assertion that a long, even-syllabled word, is much easier
retained in the memory than a shorter one. We were especially
pleased to note the readiness of some of the second classes in the

95

Primary Department in spelling, and as a whole, the rank in
this branch is well up.

In the study of arithmetic the Primary Departments are of
course in but few of the schools, advanced but little beyond the
four fundamental rules. We found one or two exceptions of
progress in fractions, and in some instances where interruption
from sickness or other causes had interfered, the examination
could go no farther than through the multiplication table. The
little examples we gave them of daily transactions were in most
cases readily comprehended, and answers given with a prompt-
ness which showed that the teacher had not confined the in-
struction exclusively to the book, and we deem this an impor-
tant point in the education, which we should be glad to see even
more generally adopted.

The " Order " of the schools was in most cases unexception-
able, and the overcrowded condition of the schools gave the very
good and sufficient reason for any departure from the rule.

The annoyance and trouble of placing the scholars in uncom-
fortable and contracted limits during the re-building of the Pres-
cott School House, is now happily at an end, and the interest with
which the children took hold of their studies on entering their
new quarters, is an earnest we trust, of what they will strive to
maintain during their connection with the school.

REPORT

OF

THE SELECTMEN.

Fellow Citizens : — We ask your attention to the fol-
lowing report for the year eighteen hundred and sixty-
eight, and the first subject which we present is our

HIGHWAYS.

The expenditure in this department, has been larger
than any previous year, and mainly caused by the follow-
ing wrork, viz., building Culvert across Dover Street, for-
merly called Willow Street, and grading the same from
Cambridge line to its junction with Elm Street, macad-
amizing Med ford Street, cutting and macadamizing on
Broadway, Washington Street, Union Square, and Web-
ster Avenue. The Culvert across Dover Street, is a sub-
stantial stone structure, and the street is graded to its fall
width the whole length. The work of macadamizing Med-
ford Street required about four thousand loads of stone.
The cutting of Broadway, which had been in contempla-
tion for several years, consumed more time and cost more
than the original estimates, in consequence of the clayey
substance of the soil, and the extreme wet season mak-
ing it difficult to work.

The apparent magnitude of the work was much les-
sened in cost, by the direct removal of the material to
other streets and places where filling was needed.

The whole cut was macadamized after being graded,
and we trust that in future this portion of Broadway will
not be a constant source of complaint each Spring and
Fall, as heretofore.

The work of grading and macadamizing Union Square,
and a portion of Webster Avenue and Washington Street,
is the cause of another large item of expenditure of our
highway fund.

Many of the abutters on the Square, Washington
Street, and the Avenue, desirous of having edge-stones
set, your board decided that the, work should all be pro-
ceeded with at the same time, as it could be done to much
better advantage. In measuring for the edge-stones on
Milk Street, it was found necessary to cause the removal
of a portion of the horse railroad track, in order to get
the proper width of sidewalk. Accordingly, notice was
given to the Company, and after considerable delay, they
caused the removal to be made.

Cesspools have been built in connection with the pres-
ent grade, so that surface-water is received at the junc-
tion of Milk and Bow Streets, and also on Washington
Street at its junction with the Square, thereby prevent-
ing the wash from the above streets crossing the Square,
as formerly. Five other cesspools have been constructed
which will receive the water from the easterly part of the
Square and Washington and Milk Streets ; also, from
Webster Avenue, and which will prevent the necessity of
more or less work at every heavy rain.

It was the intention of the Board, to put Cedar Street
in better condition for the large increase of heavy team-
ing which now passes over that street, but the lateness of
the season before we were able to reach it prevented. We
arranged with the Boston & Lowell Railroad Company,
to widen and grade the approaches to the Bridge on this
street, which work has been done, and it has made that

part of the street much easier and safer for travel. It
was also our intention to have cut and graded Franklin
Street from Pearl Street south, to the watercourse across
said street, but it was impossible to carry out all the pro-
jected plans, and we recommend the earliest possible com-
pletion of these two last plans.

The widening and acceptance of Joy Street was re-
ferred to your Board with full powers, provided it could
be done without expense to the town. A portion of the
abutters were not willing to give the requisite land, there-
fore we could not carry out the wishes of the petition-
ers. Glen Street was also referred in same manner, and
upon examination of said street that portion lying be-
tween Pearl and Webster Streets, was accepted.

Much inconvenience has been experienced for the last
two years, in not having sufficient room for hay in the
town barn, and your Board decided to make an addition
to the old one which increased the capacity for storage
about one half, at an expense of about $550. An in-
crease to the working department, of one cart, one har-
ness, and two horses, was made ; also a light wagon and
harness for the Superintendent, all of which involved
an expense of about 1000 dollars. Our month's Bills
of last year were paid out of this year's appropriation ;
this was in consequence of the change which was made
in the ending of our financial year.

Your Board feel that a large amount of work has been
accomplished for the money expended, and that much
credit is due to the good judgment and energy displayed
by the Superintendent of Streets, in carrying out our
plans.

NEW STREETS.

The extension of Pearl Street was asked for, by peti-
tion of several citizens, but your Board did not like to

lake the responsibility of laying out so large a work for
this year, and declined granting the prayer of the peti-
tioners ; they however appealed to the County Commis-
sioners, and they took the matter into consideration, and
laid out the street from Cross to Medford Street, fifty feet
wide, and ordered the extension to be made the coming
year. It will undoubtedly be a convenience to many citi-
zens, and soon add taxable property to the town by open-
ing new lots for building purposes.

Your Board also refused the prayer of petitioners for
the extension of Summer Street, and they also appealed
to the County Commissioners. After viewing the prem-
ises, and notifying your Board of their intentions, the
Commissioners laid out said Street, from Laurel Street
southeasterly to Bow Street, and northwesterly to a point
of junction with Elm Street.

The Commissioners laid out Summer Street as a County
way, thereby relieving the town from any land damage
which may be awarded. These extensions undoubtedly
enhance the value of land through which they pass, and
adds to convenience of travel.

Holland Street was accepted and opened for travel
last May, and has proved a great convenience to citizens
in that part of the town.

The Turnpike was completed and accepted by the
County Commissioners last July, and your board being
satisfied that the contract had been complied with,
opened the avenue for public travel. The name of
Mystic Avenue was proposed by Medford, as an appro-
priate one for this road, as it borders for a long distance
the river bearing the name, and your board voted to
adopt the above name, and guide signs have been placed
accordingly.

Dover Street — formerly Willow Street — was opened
for public travel in x\ugust last.

SEWERAGE.

The Linwoocl Street sewer with its latterals in Fitch-
burg Street, and northerly end of Poplar Street, and
having its outlet through the southerly end of said Street,
across Milk to tide water, was built according to plan
made last year, and was completed in October last.

The next sewer asked for, was laid from the southerly
end of Bow Street across Milk Street, Union Square,
Washington Street, and down Webster Avenue to the
watercourse crossing said Avenue.

The third and last sewer was asked for by citizens on
Spring Hill and vicinity. This sewer commences in Sum-
mer Street, passing down Harvard to Beach Street, thence
westerly to a point in Spring Street, where it intersects
with a branch from the Square, thence down Spring to
Milk, thence crossing to Kent Street, through which it
passes to its outlet in the watercourse on the southerly
side of the Fitchburg Railroad.

The a^ere^ate length of the above Sewers is five thou-
sand five hundred feet.

RAILROAD BRIDGES.

The contemplated widening of the Central Street
Bridge over the Boston & Lowell Railroad has been
made to the full width of the Street. This was a work
much desired, and it has added to the safety and conven-
ience of the public travel. The Bridge on Broadway
has been replaced by a new and substantial iron one.

The Fitchburg Railroad Company removed the old
Bridge on Beacon Street which crosses their road near
Milk Street, and have replaced it with a new one more
spacious, and being built at a lesser angle than the old
one, has much improved the passage to and from those
streets.

8

STREET LAMPS. )

A few additions have been made to the Street Lamps
the past year, and the total number now lighted by the
town is two hundred and three, of which one hundred
and sixty five are lighted by gas, and thirty eight by
fluid.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The fire department is in the same efficient condition
as last year. Where the water is let into the pipes re-
cently laid, a large addition to our water facilities for
the extinguishment of fires will be made, and will cover
some localities where no water could be obtained hereto-
fore.

The Petition for a Hose Carriage which was asked for
by citizens for the northerly part of the town was placed
on file, your Board considering that an especial appropri-
ation would be needed for the purpose. Whenever a
Hose Carriage is purchased, a sufficient quantity of Hose
will be required, and a suitable house erected to contain
it; also, a Hose tower, so that proper care can be taken
of the Hose.

Your board recommend that the suggestions with re-
gard to changes in the present Engine House be made
and completed as early as practicable the coming Spring.
For particulars in this department, we refer you to the
annexed report of the Chief Engineer.

ENGINEER'S REPORT.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :

Gentlemen, — In compliance with the usual custom, I
submit the Annual Report of the Board of Engineers of
the Fire Department for the past year, with a few recom-

mendations for necessary improvements for the accom-
modation of the Department, which are much needed.

Since our last Report, the Department has been called
out thirty-one times, eight of which were fires in town,
nine alarms, five of which were false, fourteen for fires
out of town. The Department have rendered assistance
in Cambridge four times, and have rendered assistance
in Charlestown three times, and have received assistance
from Charlestown twice. It will be seen that we have
had two more alarms, and four less fires than last year,
with a loss much lighter; we having lost but one Church,
the Universalist, which was burned on the 21st of Jan-
uary, one of the worst nights last winter. Had it not
been for that, our loss would have been very small, con-
sidering that our buildings are nearly all built of wood,
and the scarcity of water in many places. We would
call the attention of the citizens to the practice of putting
hot ashes in wooden vessels, thereby endangering their
neighbor's property as well as that of their own, as many
fires are traced to this cause;

WATER

Since our last Report, the supply of this much needed
article has been increased in some parts of the Town,
but much more is needed, as there are a great many
places where it would still be impossible to obtain a
supply in case of fire. There have been twenty Hydrants
placed along the line of the Mystic water pipes the past
year, and two supply pipes connected with two Reservoirs,
thereby making them a great deal more valuable in case
of fire, and the Board recommend that supply pipes
be laid in all the Reservoirs, as the expense would be
small and the advantage great.

There are at the present time forty-seven Hydrants,

10

and eight Reservoirs in town, yet we seem to be poorly
supplied. The practice of putting in four inch pipes is
very injurious, as it is impossible to get a good hydrant
stream from thern.

ALARM.

The Engineers would again call your attention to the
mode of ringing; the alarm bell on the Town Hall for
school purposes. It is almost impossible to distinguish
the ringing of it for school, from an alarm of fire, and it
may cause a great delay in case of fire in that locality.
The Telegraph alarm would prove a great advantage to
a town scattered over so much territory.

We would recommend the removal of the Lock-up
from that part of the building it now occupies, and
placing the Hook and Ladder Truck in that part of the
building, in order that it may be made more efficient,
as it is impossible to get a company to take charge of it
in the present location, and also of furnishing suitable
rooms in the second storyof the building, for the per-
manent men, and they would also recommend the erec-
tion of a tower connected with the building, so that all
the Hose of the Department can be taken care of at one
place, as it has proved of great advantage in Charlestown
and other places, thereby making a great saving both
in Hose and expense.

We would recommend the purchase of five hundred
feet of new Hose this year.

All of which is respectfully submitted,

DAVID A. SANBORN, Jr.,

Chief Engineer Somerville Fire Department.

POLICE AXD WATCH.

As the population increases, we may reasonably expect
an increase of crime. Our records show a larger number
of arrests than last year, but they are mostly for trivial
offences.

The night watch has proved a very beneficial part of
the police department, and resulted in preventing numer-
ous disturbances, and adding to the quiet and safety of
the thickly settled places where they have been stationed.

The appropriation in this department, will need to be
increased the coming year.

The number of arrests and their classification, and for
other particulars, we refer you to the annexed report of
the Secretary of this department.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Somerville :

The following is submitted as the Annual Report of
the Police Department, for the year ending December
31, 1868.

Whole number of arrests, two hundred and twelve,
being seventy-five more than last year, and one hundred
and forty more than 1866.

On the 28th of November, two Petitions to the Legis-
lature were laid before your Board by counsel for the
Petitioners, and asked us to waive notice in behalf of
the town, but your Board, after considering the subject,
refused to grant their request. The subject of dividing
this town does not, to our view, admit of a single argu-
ment in favor of the project, and we felt it our duty to
remonstrate against any and all Petitions which may be
presented to the Legislature on this subject — your Board
voted that a census of the population should be taken,
and the result shows a total of twelve thousand five
hundred and thirty-five inhabitants. And the number
of children under fifteen years of age, to be three thou-
sand nine hundred and thirty-eight. The total number of
Houses, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three,
showing a large increase the past year.

Such rapid increase of population as this census shows,
and such a financial record as the Report of the Treasurer
gives us, must certainly be most encouraging to all good
citizens. Such prosperity has few parallels in the Com-
monwealth, and we trust and believe that no private
schemes or sectional ideas of change of boundary, will
be permitted to check us in the proud and prosperous
condition in which we now stand.

REPORT

OF THE

FINANCE 'COMMITTEE.

The Finance Committee respectfully submit the fol-
io winy- :

The town debt on Note account is as follows :

Notes due in 1869, . .... 134,575

" " " 1872, .... 78,495

« " 1879, 19,H54

" " 1884, . . . . 46,000

$178,924

By a vote of the town, this Committee were instructed
to propose some plan for the funding of the town debt.

For the payment of that part of the debt which will
mature the coming year, the town must make some pro-
vision at the meeting in March or in April. Of the
amount, $ 20,875 was borrowed in 1862, as a " Military
Appropriation," and the remaining $ 13,700 are in renewed
notes, etc. It is recommended that the Treasurer, with
the approval of the Finance Committee, be authorized to
issue Coupon Bonds for $21,000, to be denominated
" Somerville War Loan," and for $14,000, to be denomi-
nated " Somerville Town Loan," for the payment of the

I

97

$34,575 — the excess to be placed to the credit of "Mis-
cellaneous " account.

In 1872 a very large part of the debt will mature.
It is doubtful if the payment of any considerable part of
the amount can be anticipated, as the rate of interest on
over three-fourths of it, is probably higher than the rate
at which similar loans could be effected at the present
time. It is recommended, however, that if any arrange-
ment can be made for the payment of one or more of
the notes, the same authority be given to issue Coupon
Bonds for the payment thereof, as has been advised in
regard to the notes which will mature the present year ;
provided, that in the judgment of the Finance Commit-
tee, a sufficient reduction in the rate of interest can
thereby be effected, to justify the transfer. Should
these Bonds be issued, the purpose of their issue,
— as near as may be, — should be •' nominated in the
Bond."

Of the amount which will mature in 1879, $14,400
are in Coupon Bonds, and the remaining $5,454 in one
note. The rate of interest on these bonds and this note,
and the rates of interest on the notes which will mature
in 1884, beincr very much less than the current rate of

' CD */

interest at the present time, it is recommended that they
be not moved.

The debt consequent upon the introduction of the
Mystic Water, has not been considered, as it would
simply be a repetition of a part of the Keport of the
Water Committee.

The town debt, on note account, March 1, 1859, was
$44,338 ; the increase for ten years to January 1, 1869,
$134,586 ; occasioned, as near as can now be well ascer-
tained, by

WTar Loan, about $90,000, for bounties, recruiting, &c.

98

School Loan, about $30,000, for rebuilding school-
houses, &c.

Town Loan, about $14,500, for various purposes, — per-
haps, in part, on that romantic thoroughfare, the Med-
ford Turnpike ; for the purchase of the Steam Fire
Engine ; and, also, it may be, on a school-house : for
the practice, at one time so common in this town, of
sliding expenditures from their proper accounts to a
more accommodating appropriation, defies anything
like accuracy in locating this part of the increase.

No part of the town debt will mature during the years
1870 and 1871, and there seems no good reason for sup-
posing that the town will be called upon for the next
four or five years for appropriations beyond the ordinary
current expenses ; except, it may be, for further school
accommodations in the Franklin District. The incurring
of a debt for the erection of substantial school-houses,
ought not to subject any generation to censure from its
successors ; but to entail upon posterity a debt for the
repairs of Highways, expenses of the Fire Department,
salaries of Town Officers, maintenance of Police, etc., is,
at best, a very questionable method of evading responsi-
bilities. The ordinary annual expenses should be met
by the annual assessment of taxes, and in the present
favorable financial condition of the town, the rate of
taxation ought to be, and can be, by judicious manage-
ment, much reduced.

The average rate of taxation in this town for the past
ten years varies but little from the average rate in the
adjoining cities of Cambridge and Charlestown. The
average in Cambridge wras $11.68; Charlestown, $12.91,
and Somerville, $11.93 on $1,000 valuation. The high-
est rate in any one year was, in Cambridge, $15.20 ;
Charlestown, $19.60, and Somerville, $19.00. The rates

99

in 186S were, Cambridge, $1:5.80 ; Charlestown, $14.80.
and the city debt was increased $164,460, and Somer-
ville, $19.00. and the town debt was decreased $10,550.
The proportions of debt to valuation are, in Cambridge?
lyVo Per cent- ? Charlestown, 2TYo per cent., and Somer-
ville, lyVo Per cent- : in every case exclusive of the water
debt. The average rate of taxation in Boston for the
past five years was $13.98; in 1868 it was $12.30, and
the debt was increased $3,308,641 : the proportion of
debt to valuation, 2t6/q- per cent. The proportion of debt
to valuation in Maiden is 2jq7q per cent.; Medford, 1T|- -g-
per cent., and in Chelsea, exclusive of the water debt,

^iVo Per cent-

Thus it will be seen that notwithstanding the lartre

outlays of the past few years, and the high rate of taxa-
tion the last year, our town is in as good a condition,
financially, as many of the places in the immediate
vicinity.

That we can be more prudent in the management of
our town affairs than we have been, is beyond question.
As means for reducing our expenditures and rate of tax-
ation, and for the better government of the town, it is
recommended :

1. That all the property tax payers attend the annual
meeting for appropriations, in April.

2. That the number of Assessors be increased by the
election of Assistant Assessors.

3. That the number of Selectmen be increased to
nine.

4. That the offices of Town Treasurer and Collector of
Taxes be filled by one and the same person.

5. That the town elect annually, in lieu of an Audit-
ing Committee, one Auditor, to whom all bills from all

100

Boards, and all demands against the town, of every de-
scription, shall be submitted before the same shall be
paid by the Treasurer.

6. That some more simple method of notifying town
meetings be authorized by the town.

7. That as the town has no code of By-Laws worthy the
name, a Committee be chosen at the next town meeting
to prepare a suitable code, and submit the same at a
subsequent meeting.

REPORT

OF THE

SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

We respectfully submit the Twenty-Seventh Annual
Report of the School Committee, with a high apprecia-
tion of the importance of the vital interest committed to
our care.

To mark out the course for the intellectual and moral
training of the youth of so large a community, — to give
direction to the vast capabilities of the human mind, —
to' shape, it may be, the destiny of immortal natures, in-
volve responsibilities which the wisest and boldest may
well assume with diffidence and many misgivings.

Various considerations invest childhood and vouth
with an interest that attaches to no other period of life,
and greatly enhance the responsibility of those to whom
the interests of education are intrusted.

Childhood, especially, is ingenuous and confiding.
Skepticism dwells not in the heart of a child. He readily
receives as true, the testimony of his superiors. His
intuitions render the slow process of reasoning unneces-
sary. Youthful minds readily receive and firmly retain
whatever is communicated to them. The last impres-
sions that pass from the recollection of an aged man, are
those with which he was familiar in his youth.

The season of pupilage is also the forming period of
character.

" 'T is here the current springs, whose stream
May flow in honor or in shame."

What the young are, as they pass out from under the
tuition of our schools, they will be likely to remain
through life ; for

" The childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day."

Lord Shaftesbury states, as the result of his personal
investigation, that " of all the male adult criminals in
London, not two in a hundred who lived an honest life up
to the age of twenty, afterwards enter upon a course of
crime," and that u almost all who enter upon such a course,
do so between the ages of eight and sixteen years."

Hence educators, deeply impressed with the sense of
their responsibilities, should exercise incessant vigilance ;
— constantly keep before the minds of the young a high
purpose — pure and noble aims ; should prudently check
their " budding ills ;" and while they patiently and dili-
gently assist them up the rugged ascent of the "Hill
of Science," gently guide their erring feet into those
paths of virtue and true wisdom, which are pleasantness
and peace.

In applying the liberal appropriations of the town to
the intellectual and material wants of the schools, it has
been our endeavor to render all the school-rooms as pleas-
ant and attractive as possible ; that our children may
approach them with willing feet. They are constructed
with a view to health and comfort. They are light, spa-
cious, commodious ; wTell warmed and ventilated, and so
furnished that pupils may pursue their studies as free
from weariness and all physical discomfort as possible.
The happy faces that greet us in our frequent visits,
assure us of the success of our efforts to render the

103

school life of our children pleasant and agreeable to
them.

TEACHERS.

In the selection of teachers, we aim to secure those
who combine the largest number of the best qualities of
our nature. Those who are thoroughly furnished ; apt
to teach ; skillful in communicating ; abounding in love
for the young, and for their calling ; largely endowed
with patience and forbearance ; capable of governing
with gentle firmness ; possessing enthusiasm to inspire
and characters in all respects worthy of imitation.

It requires a rare combination of endowments to con-
stitute a teacher, who, in every particular, is equal to the
exalted place occupied, and the important^ duties inci-
dent to it. " He who hath found such an one, hath found
a treasure."

No maxim has been bequeathed to us more truthful
than this one : " As is the teacher, so is the school"

Hence, the school, as a faithful mirror, exhibits to the
practiced eye, the character and qualities of the teacher
as truthfully as any work of art does, the genius and
skill of the artist.

We therefore fully realize that we cannot confer upon
any school a greater blessing than to place over it a
teacher thoroughly competent for its instruction and
management.

The important work of the teacher is much more highly
appreciated and better rewarded than formerly ; conse-
quently the profession is attracting to it a higher order
of talent and qualifications, and teachers are stimulated
to labor earnestly for the attainment of a high degree
of culture, and of eminence in their profession. This of
itself is sufficient cause for the constant improvement so
manifest in oui schools.

101

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

In matters of discipline, we counsel mildness. Prefer-
ing the gentle persuasions of kindness, and an appeal to
the higher motives, whenever these will prove efficacious,
we would resort to more stringent measures, only as phy-
sicians do to caustic remedies, from urgent necessity ;
and would have for our motto : " Deal gently with the
child."

The " Check and Credit" system, so generally adopted
to secure order and industry, may be as free from objec-
tion, perhaps, as any other yet devised. But we are free
to confess, we do not hold it in high esteem. Its moral
effect upon the young we consider questionable, and
shall joyfully welcome the introduction of some other
system equally efficacious, but attended with less danger.

Veracity is a cardinal virtue, and cannot be guarded
too zealously.

The sad countenances and tearful eyes of children, as
they lose their " credits," or increase their " checks," are
so frequently witnessed by us, we learn, to some extent,
how ardently they desire a high position in their re-
spective classes ; and Ave realize how strong a temp-
tation to falsify or equivocate is constantly placed be-
fore them. We would therefore urge the importance
of applying the system with extreme caution ; for if we
are securing order and industry at the expense of moral
rectitude, we are making a fearful exchange. The slight-
est deviation from virtue furnishes just occasion for
alarm.

" The course of evil
Begins so slowly, and from such slight source,
An infant's hand might stop the breach with clay ;
But let the stream get deeper, and philosophy,
Aye, and religion too, shall strive in vain
To turn the headlong current."

105

A man having been reproved by Solon for speaking
falsely, excused himself by saying : " It was only in jest."
Solon, striking his cane upon the ground, violently ex-
claimed : " If we allow ourselves to speak falsely in jest,
we shall stand a chance of acquiring the habit of speak-
ing falsely of serious matters ! "

PROMOTIONS.

Promotions are made to the High School, at the com-
mencement of the Winter Term only. In the other De-
partments, in addition to the regular annual class promo-
tions, there are individual promotions from one class
or department to another, whenever they are warranted
by the qualifications of individual pupils.

Diversity of endowments is manifest in every class of
every school.

" Some are, and must be, greater than the rest."

Some minds mature much more rapidly than others.
Some pupils acquire knowledge with greater facility than
others who may be their equals in mental strength and
capacity. Some are ambitious and industrious, while
others lack application. Some are endowed with more
than ordinary physical strength and endurance, and con-
sequently, can devote more time to study, without injury
to health, than others less fortunate in these particulars.

It is manifest, therefore, that a rigid adherence to any
system of class promotions, exclusively, would do great
injustice to some of the classes of pupils specified, and
would result in permanent injury to others. For it is as
injurious to advance pupils before they are qualified for
promotion, as it is unjust to keep them back when they
are proper candidates for advancement.

Individual promotions remove all obstacles to the more
rapid progress of those pupils who surpass their class-

106

mates in industry, or mental activity, or physical endur-
ance.

The great importance of this subject of promotions to
the large number personally interested, will justify some-
thing more than a passing notice.

But the narrow limits of this report must necessarily
restrict us to brief statements, and the mere enunciation
of a few suggestive propositions.

We are urged to its consideration by a deep convic-
tion that great injury and cruel wrong are being inflicted
upon multitudes of youth, by forcing them beyond their
capacity to comprehend, or by imposing upon them bur-
dens which they have not the mental and physical
strength to bear; and this too, in our own Common-
wealth, so justly commended for its wise systems of pop-
ular education.

When we call to mind the ardent affection of parents
for their . children, — with what tender solicitude they
watch over them, — what sacrifices they cheerfully make
to promote their welfare, — it may seem like a work of
supererogation for us to raise a warning voice and assume
the attitude of counsellors. But the most ardent affec-
tion and the kindest solicitude are liable to be misdi-
rected. These delicate flowers

" May take a blemish from the breath of love,
And bear the blijjht forever."

By misapplied anxiety in matters of education, the
fairest jewels may be laid aside prematurely, and the
joyous light of many dwellings may be extinguished be-
fore its time.

We have a sad instance of the cruelty nnd permanent
injury that may be inflicted upon a child by loving,
doting, and highly educated parents even, in the case of
the brilliant and lamented Sarah Margaret Fuller.

107

Her father was a lawyer of note, and for eight years
represented Massachusetts in Congress. Her biographer
says : " He devoted great pains. — far too great pains, — -
to the intellectual culture of his child. She lived anions
books, — read Latin at six years of age, and was early
familiar with Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. She then went
on to Greek. At eight years of age she devoured
Shakespeare, Cervantes, and Moliere, and at fifteen was
immersed in literature and philosophy.

She was petted and praised as a prodigy. She was a
child without toys, without romps, without laughter.
She had no natural childhood. Her mind did not grow
-it was forced. A child should expand in the sun ; but
this little victim was put under a glass frame and plied
with all manner of artificial heat. Her brain was un-
mercifully taxed to the serious injury of her health.
She was kept up late at her tasks, and went to bed with
stimulated brain and nerves, — to be haunted by spectral
illusions, nightmare and horrid dreams ; while by day she
suffered from headache, weakness and nervous affections
of all kinds. In after life she was the victim of disease
and pain. In a pathetic prayer found among her papers,
she says : " I am weary of thinking. I suffer great fatigue

from living I sink for want of rest, and none will

shelter me." " To hear the occasional plaintive tone of
sorrow in her thought and speech," Mr. Channing says,
'' was like the wail of an iEolian harp heard at intervals
from some upper window."

This is a marked instance, and, it is to be hoped, is with-
out a parallel for intensity of wrong and suffering; but
we are thoroughly persuaded that while we write, there
are numbers in our own community suffering to a greater
or less degree from similar causes.

Those who suffer most are usually pupils of the high-
est order ; with delicate organizations and sensitive na-

108

tures ; and who combine largely those qualities of mind
and heart we most admire.

Influenced by feelings of commiseration for such, we
make our plea in their behalf, and can only wish we pos-
sessed the ability to make manifest to all the cause and
cure, and could induce the immediate application of the
remedy.

We have already intimated that it is our pleasure to
witness happy faces in every school-room we visit. But
we are grieved also, to witness indications of care and
anxiety and weariness and discouragement upon coun-
tenances that should be radiant with happiness.

Merry, ringing laughter, — buoyant footsteps, — happy
faces, — sparkling eyes, — are natural accompaniments of
childhood and youth. We should take warning when
these are not apparent.

The following expressions: Youth is life's merry
morning, — its golden period, — its joyous spring-time, —
its palmy days, — are not high wrought metaphors, but
only imperfect representations of the joyousness of child-
hood wherever the benevolent designs of the Creator are
not thwarted.

Whenever the step of the child loses its elasticity, —
his face its brightness, — his eyes their sparkle, — his
laughter its joyous ring, — or, whenever his appetite be-
comes fitful,— his sleep disturbed, — and he betrays unnat-
ural nervousness or irritability in connection with his les
sons, be sure something is wrong in his treatment at
home or in school.

The primary object of the school is to aid pupils in
the acquisition of knowledge, and in the cultivation
mainly of their mental faculties, but with due regard also,
to physical development and moral culture. To accom
plish this object successfully, there must be the constant
exercise of discrimination and judgment.

109

We must acquaint ourselves thoroughly with the men-
tal and physical capabilities of those whom we Avould
instruct.

We must carefully decide how much time pupils may
with safety to health, devote to study. There must be
a wise adaptation of instruction, in character and amount,
to the age, physical strength, mental capacity, and pre-
vious preparation of pupils. We must determine as
accurately as possible how much assistance we shall
render pupils, and how far they must be made to rely
upon their own efforts.

First then, as to the time children should be kept in
school, and be required to devote to study.

No general rule can be given that will apply to every
case. Parents who know as no other persons can, re-
specting the health and endurance of their children, must
decide in each individual instance. Committees in as-
signing the limits of the school year, endeavor to adapt
them to the wants and average capabilities of pupils.
Forty- two weeks constitute our school year. In addition
to the ten weeks of vacation, there are six and one half
stated holidays. The High School has five sessions a
week of five hours each. All the other schools have ten
sessions a week, averaging two and three-fourths hours
each. These sessions are divided by recesses, which reduce
the time for study and recitations to four and one-half
hours in the Hitrh School, and to two and one-half hours
in the other schools. After deducting the time required
for general exercises and the ordinary business of school,
probably not more than one-half the time spent in the
school-room is devoted to close mental application.

From careful observation, our conclusion is, that no
healthy pupil will be injured by attending school every
school day through the year, provided his studies in
amount and character, are adapted to his physical strength
and mental capacity.

110

This brings us to what we regard as the root of the
difficulty. Pupils are either overworked by having as-
signed them lessons of too great length in studies which
they understand ; or, having been promoted prematurely,
they are harrassed and discouraged in their attempts to
pursue studies beyond their comprehension — mainly
the latter. This arises principally from causes in them-
selves highly commendable ; as the solicitude of parents
for the advancement of their children ; the anxiety of
teachers for the rapid progress of their pupils ; and the
ambition of scholars themselves, for promotion. Evi-
dently, we are all in too great haste.

In the education of the young, the true maxim is :
•' Make haste slowly." Time is as essential to the healthy
development of the mental faculties as it is to the growth
of a tree. No forcing process will bring to maturity the
majestic oak before its time. By enriching the soil we
may stimulate its growth ; but its tough fibres must be
wrought out in nature's laboratory by slow processes.
Thus must it ever be with the human mind, which of all
created things is most enduring.

By careful instruction and judicious training, we may
hasten and render symmetrical its natural growth. But
with patience we must toil and wait

We would not clip the wings of those who have the
strength to soar ; but we would learn wisdom from the
unerring instinct of the eagle, that never makes a mistake
as to the proper time for stirring up her nest and send-
ing forth her young upon untried pinions.

The acquisition of knowledge is ever a source of in-
tense delight to those who can gain a clear and intelligent
understanding of the subject under consideration. And
under such circumstances, the mind is always invigorated
by the proper exercise of its faculties. But it must be re-
garded as not only unwise but cruel to require, or even al-

lit

low pupils to plod on day after day, and year after year in
the dark, as many do, perplexed, and disheartened by vain
attempts to understand subjects, which from want of
mental growth, they are unable to comprehend. School
life to such must ever be an incessant round of painful
drudgerv. Our limits will not admit of an enumeration
of the pernicious consequences of such a course.

To avoid the evil under consideration, the requisite
time must be furnished for the natural, vigorous growth
of all the powers of body and mind. Any apparent loss
of time will be much more than compensated for, by the
additional phvsical strength and mental vigor with which
the voung will go forth to engage in the conflict of
life.

Due regard must be had also to the natural order in
the development of the intellectual faculties. In nature,
it is : " First the blade, then the ear," but we must
patiently wait till autumn, before we can rejoice in the
possession of " the full corn in the ear."

There is a corresponding order of progression in the
province of mind. In the child, observation, curiosity,
memory and faith, are developed early. The rapidity
with which children of tender years acquire knowledge
from observation, and skill by imitation, is a matter of
surprise. They memorize with rapidity and ease, if not
with positive pleasure. What we should consider a Her-
culean task, they would regard as mere pastime. As we
have already intimated, their faith and intuitions render
the slow processes of reasoning unnecessary.

Win the confidence and affections of a child, and he
will not call in question your assertions. This fact
greatly enhances the responsibility of educators, but
it gives them peculiar advantages in communicating
knowledge.

Reason, therefore, would seem to indicate that oral
9

112

instruction, object teaching, and memorizing should be
the principal work of the Primary School, and also of the
lower classes of the Grammar School.

Reason and judgment mature slowly. Studies, there-
fore, which require the exercise of these faculties, should
be pursued late in the pupil's course.

To require a child to reason logically, or to exercise
the judgment of mature minds, would be like demanding
of nature, autumn fruits in June.

Again, while we furnish pupils with all needful assist-
ance in gaining knowledge and in developing the mental
faculties, wTe should not forget that the mind can be
strengthened and matured only, by the exercise of its
own powers.

We may generously furnish facilities for acquiring an
education ; but each one must learn for himself. Thought
comes of thinking as strength does by action. Every dif-
ficulty, successfully overcome, imparts to the victor addi-
tional vigor, and insures victory over others more formida-
ble. It is mistaken kindness to do for pupils what they
must perform for themselves in order to become skilful
in doing. They should early acquire the habit of self-
reliance, and should be encouraged in the exercise of
their own abilities. Knowledge may be imparted ; but
the mind is educated only by the exercise of its own activ-
ities.

We would urge upon pupils the importance of regular-
ity in attendance — of faithfulness in the preparation of
every lesson. They should make themselves masters of
every difficulty that presents itself as an obstacle to their
progress. In an intellectual conflict, the true policy is :
" To leave no enemy in the rear!' Then their apparent
advancement will be a true index of their real progress.
They should determine to become thorough and accurate
students, and should labor for a symmetrical develop-

113

ment of all the powers and faculties with which God has
endowed them.

APPROPRIATIONS.

At the annual Town meeting held on the second day
of March last, $12,000 were appropriated to purchase
land, and erect a school-house in the vicinity of the Jack-
son School. And at the meeting of the Town held on
the thirteenth of April last, $12,000 were appropriated
to purchase land and erect a school-house on Webster.
Avenue and south of the Fitchburg Railroad. These
buildings were to be constructed of wood, writh brick
basements ; each to contain four school-rooms of ordinary
size, and rooms in the basement for the janitor.

A lot of land containing about 20,600 feet, and located
on the corner of Joy and Poplar Streets, was purchased
for $2,482.35, including right of way in the rear of the
lot. Another lot containing 11,050 feet, and located on
the north side of Webster Avenue about equi-distant from
the Union Glass Works and Cambridge line was pur-
chased at 17 cents per foot.

These buildings were constructed in a thorough and
workmanlike manner by our townsman, George W.
Trefren, Esq.

Three rooms in the building on Joy Street, were occu-
pied by schools in September ; and two rooms in the
building on Webster Avenue wrere similarly occupied in
November.

The school on Joy Street was named the Bennett
School, as a token of respect to Clark Bennett, Esq., who
was a faithful and efficient member of the School Board
during a term of eleven years.

The school on Webster Avenue was named the Web-
ster School.

and located en land known as the " Town Farm," which
lies between Broadway and the Lowell Railroad.

A school was commenced in that building in Septem-
ber, and named the Cedar Street Primary School.

To meet the current expenses of the schools and the
rapidly increasing demands for school accommodations,
committees have been under the necessity of asking for
large appropriations for a series of years.

Various causes beyond our control have contributed to
impose a heavy burden upon our citizens during the last
eight years. In addition to the large amount of money
necessary to meet the emergencies of war, we have ex-
pended for the purchase of land and the construction
and furnishing of school-houses more than $120,000
in excess of sums received fro rat' Insurance Companies.

Few towns in the Commonwealth have increased in
population more rapidly than Somerville has within the
last ten years, and none certainly, have suffered so se-
verely from the destruction of school property.

To refresh the memory of the older inhabitants, and
for the information of those who have more recently be-
come residents of our beautiful and thriving town, we will
insert a few items gathered from the records of the past.

When Somerville wras incorporated in 1842, there
were only 293 scholars belonging to all the schools, al-
though children were admitted at four years of age.

The following is the result of the first examination
made in March, 1842.

There were belonging to the Town four School-houses,
containing in ulljive school-rooms, as follows :

Upper Winter Hill Primary School-House. This build-
ing was located on Central Street, where it remained
until the first Forster school-house was completed in 1855.
It was then moved to the East Village, and located
where the Prescott school-house now stands. In 1856 it
was removed to Maple Street, and placed upon the lot of
land now occupied by the Jackson school-house. In 1861
it was removed to Prospect Street where it now stands,
and is known as the Union Primary School House.

Prospect Hill School-house. This building contained
two school-rooms, and was located on Medford Street
near the end of Cross Street. It was occupied by schools
until the completion of Brastow school-house in 1861. It
now stands on Prospect Street, and contains the Police
Court Rooms.

Milk Street School-house, was located near the Ceme-
tery, and was burnt by an incendiary July 13, 1849.

Lower Winter Hill Primary School-house, was located
on Broadway, and near Franklin Street. It was occu-
pied by a Primary School, until the first Prescott school-
house was completed in 1846. It was afterwards sold
and removed.

The school in Russell District was domiciled in a pri-
vate dwelling.

The Town since its organization has built 17 school-
houses, containing in all 59 school-rooms.

The following is the order of their construction :

Lower Winter Hill School-house was moved to Beacon
Street in 1848, and named the Harvard Primary School
House. It was enlarged bv the addition of ten feet to

its length in 1861.

Prescott School-house, No. 1, was burnt July 6, 1856.

Franklin School-house was enlarged in 1862, by the
addition of two school-rooms.

Prospect Hill School-house was enlarged in 1865, by
the addition of four school -rooms.

Forster School-house, No. 1, was burnt February 18,
1866.

Prescott School-house, No. 2, was burnt December 31,
1866.

The first floor of the Hi«;h School Building-, which had
been used for a Town Hall, was appropriated to the use
of the school in 1867. It now contains a Chemical
Laboratory, a Philosophical Room, and two Recitation
Rooms.

118

There are now belonging to the town, 15 school-houses,
containing 52 school-rooms.

The estimated value of all the school property is .
$185,050.

Every part of the town except the Franklin District
is well supplied with school accommodations ; and in
most sections, future wants have been anticipated and
provided for.

All the school buildings are in excellent condition, and
will require only a small outlay of expense for several
years to come.

Five new schools have been organized during the year.
Two in the Webster School House, one in the Bennett,
one in the Prescott, and the Cedar Street School. A
large proportion of the dwelling houses erected during
the year are occupied, and the children living in them,
are in the schools.

All the school-rooms in the Franklin District are full,
and one Primary School is occupying a room we have
hired and fitted up temporarily for the purpose. The
two Sub-Grammar Schools are crowded to excess. There
are several primary scholars qualified for promotion to
those schools, but for whom there are no seats. At the
close of the summer term, when we shall make our regu-
lar class promotions, there will be a smaller number of
pupils qualified for promotion to the Grammar School
from the Sub-Grammar Schools than will be qualified for
promotion to them from the Primary Schools. Hence
the demand for additional accommodation is urgent.

only. Excuse — Temperature 20° below zero, Farenheit's Ther-
mometer.

The graduates thus far, have averaged about 30 per
cent of the number of their respective classes upon enter-
ing the school. It is an encouraging fact that the per-
centage is constantly increasing. Fifty per cent of the
class that entered in 1864, graduated in 1868. The pres-
ent First Class contained 39 members upon entering the
school in 1865. It now contains 24 members.

124

Of the graduates, fifteen young gentlemen have en-
tered college, and sixteen young ladies are engaged in
teaching.

All the graduates are living, except Miss Fletcher of
the class of 1864. She was a young lady of unusual ami-
ability, was endowed with a mind of more than ordinary
brilliancy, and gave promise of great usefulness. She
died March 31, 1866.

HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION.

This organization we regard with peculiar interest and
satisfaction. It promises to become a valuable auxiliary
to the cause of popular education. Its influence for good
in that direction, is already apparent in the community.

It was organized in 1864. All persons who were mem-
bers of the High School at any time previous to 1862,
and all graduates are eligible to membership.

Its object, as stated in the preamble to the Constitu-
tion, is, " To promote friendly re-union, to encourage
study, to benefit the school, and to engage in any move-
ment for the welfare of the town."

Under the auspices of the Association, several courses
of popular lectures, free to the public, have been given
the present winter, as follows :

1. On New England History, by Charles G. Pope, Esq.,
Principal of Forster School.

2. On Geology, by H. P. Makechnie, Esq., Principal of
Lincoln School.

3. On the several sciences, with experiments, by Geo.
L. Baxter, Esq., Principal of the High School.

125

In June 1864, the Committee purchased of Mr. Bab-
cock, then Principal of the school, a Mineralogical Cabinet
of choice and rare specimens, which, through a series of
years, he had collected with sreat care. Several valua-
ble additions have since been made to it.

Within the past year, a Catalogue of all the specimens
has been carefully prepared by the Principal of the school.

The school is supplied with a valuable Philosophical
Apparatus, for illustrating various subjects in Natural
Philosophy, and a Lab oratory containing all necessary
appliances for experiments in Chemistry.

The Library of the school has been increased during
the year by the JVew American Cyclopcedia in sixteen
volumes, the gift of Samuel A. Carleton, Esq., of the
School Board.

Each of these valuable aids in communicating instruc-
tion, will receive such additions from time to time as the
wants of the school may demand.

MUSIC.

The High School and all of the Grammar Schools, are
furnished with pianos, and instruction in vocal music is
given in these schools once each week, by teachers
especially employed for the purpose, and with gratifying
results.

We cannot overestimate the importance of this branch
of instruction. Pupils early develop their voices, and be-
come acquainted with the rudiments of the science of
music, which they learn to read with a good degree of
facility. But its influence in elevating the moral tone
and character of our schools, surpasses every other con-
sideration, and is beyond computation.

126

The following are the Reports of the Sub-Committees
to whom was assigned the duty of examining the differ-
ent grades of schools.

PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

The Committee to whom was allotted the duty of ex-
amining the (Nineteen) Primary Schools of Somerville,
in concluding their duties for this season, can conscien-
ciously report a very promising condition in this impor-
tant department of education.

It was to be re arretted that the examination should
necessarily occur at this season, when absence from sick-
ness, consequent on the inclemency of the weather, is
always the greatest. In some schools the reduction from
this cause wTas so great as materially to reduce the rate
to which they would manifestly have been entitled, had
they been fully represented. In two cases at least, there
were not over two-thirds of the average number, present.

The practice of visits without previous notice we be-
lieve to be preferable to fixed days and particular re-
views, albeit not so much relished bv teachers ambitious
to make a brilliant exhibition of their charges. The calls
this year were all without specific time of examination
being given, and we regard the bearing of the schools
under the naturally embarrassing circumstances, as espe-
cially commendable.

It is perhaps not known to all, and for the information
of such we will state, that the examination of the Pri-
mary Schools embraced only reading, spelling, arithmetic
and abbreviations, with an occasional class in Geography,
where the school is composed in part of more advanced
pupils.

In readme: wre found much that was in the highest de-
gree praiseworthy, and but little that was really wrong ;

127

the almost total absence of the objectionable feature of
last year was especially noted with pleasure, and we feel
that our earnest protest of one year ago has been pro-
ductive of much good. That it may not be lost sight of,
we repeat the recommendation to use every means to
correct the rendering of saw, law, draw, and the like, into
sor, lor and dror ; or, the careless clipping of the g from
words ending in "ing." In some schools we observed a
sing-song style of reading, and we urge upon teachers
the necessity of its speedy correction. If allowed to go
on during the pupils' term in the primary school, it will
be found exceedingly difficult to eradicate the habit
in the higher classes. Much may be done by a little at-
tention thereto on the part of parents or older brothers
or sisters in exercises at home ; and while satisfying them-
selves as to the proficiency of the scholars, materially
assist the teacher.

The .spelling, in the main, has been very good indeed,
and we have adopted the plan of taking words from the
reading; lesson instead of confining ourselves to the limits
of the spelling lesson, as it not unfrequently occurs that
little words in almost daily use are misspelled, when a
page of four or five syllabled words would not show an
error. An occasional inquiry as to the definition of a
word would generally be promptly and correctly an-
swered.

In arithmetic, the familiar examples given were read-
ily understood, as a general thing, and miscellaneous
questions from the tables received prompt replies. We
noticed that children who had been accustomed to domes-
tic errands at the store for minor family supplies, were
much quicker in their answers than others of equal and
oftener superior ability, who had not had the advantage
of such experience. It may seem of small consequence
to adults, but it is really a very considerable mental
10

128

effort for a child of six or eight years to be required
to go outside the book and explain an ordinary trans-
action, and we advise that real or imaginary practi-
cal examples be given them by teachers, parents or
guardians, as frequently as possible, and thus add prac-
tice to theory, as arithmetics are not entirely perfect in
the former particular.

The order of the schools was found generally excel-
lent, and the precision shown on going to and from the
seats, or on leaving the school, was an especially pleasing
feature, and in many of the younger scholars the atten-
tion to " order," and manifest pride in appearing well on
drill, gave evidence of the faithfulness of teachers in this
very important first step. In but a limited number did
we observe any serious departure from the strict deco-
rum which should characterize a school-room.

The consolidation of classes in some schools, changes
to new buildings, and consequent interruptions to studies,
have been a drawback in some measure this year ; but
we hope for regular, uniform attendance henceforth, and
would suggest to parents that something of more than
ordinary importance only, should be allowed to interfere
with a regular and punctual report of their children dur-
ing the term upon which they enter. The omission of a
day now and then, or occasionally a week, is productive
of much annoyance to the teachers, and of positive in-
jury to the child.

We trust another season may see the substitution of
the neat desk and chair throughout the schools, in place
of the unsightly chairs with racks attached, now in use
in a few instances. Certainly the excellent exhibit in
one school should entitle it to an early attention in that
particular, and we feel that no tax-payer would hesitate
in voting the outlav, could he see the bright faces and
listen to the prompt answers from some of the youngest

129

as well as the older scholars, and where a mistake in
anything is a rare exception.

To the teachers we offer our congratulations on the
success which has attended their efforts during the past
year, and to those whom we met officially for the first
time during the examination, we bid a cordial welcome
to the honorable profession they have chosen, trusting to
time and experience to remove any obstacle which may
appear discouraging. That the ability to teach is not
wanting in any one case, we are assured, and the great-
est difficulty, as it appears to us, is in the matter of dis-
cipline, which if secured, will render the labor of the
school-room, lighter by one half. Let your reproof be
such as to obviate the necessity for scolding, a practice
which rarely accomplishes the object and adds infinitely
to your work. We find schools governed by the tap of
a pencil, perfectly ; and occasionally one very imperfectly
controlled by constant calls to order and consequent dis-
traction of the teacher's attention from the business in
hand. The difference in schools of course is considered
in these remarks, and good training at home will show
as plainly in school as elsewhere, and the teacher's duties
made lighter, or more arduous, in proportion as the dis-
cipline at home secures a ready and affectionate obedi-
ence, or fails in the same.

We would in conclusion not only invite, but urge pa-
rents to visit the schools more frequently, and ascertain
by personal observation their condition, believing that
such visits will be not only gratifying to the scholars and
teachers, but mutually beneficial

SUB-GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

The condition of the Sub-Grammar Schools is, in every
respect, satisfactory. The discipline, in almost all cases,
is excellent. The cheerful, contented, happy appearance
of the children shows, as nothing else can, that the
teachers wisely use the authority committed into their
hands: and, at the same time, the widest regard for the
laws of the school-room. The quiet order and decorum
tell better than any words, what the discipline is from
day to day.

It is generally observed that the peculiar fondness
which a teacher has for a particular study, will be seen
in the manner in which the pupils answer questions in
that department. Thus, in one of our examinations, the
children analyzed their problems in arithmetic with ex-
treme care : in another, the answers to the questions in
Geography, and particularly the demonstrations from
drawings on the black-board, betrayed the general delight
in that important, study. While the evidences of care-
ful training in all the studies were abundant, we were
pleased to find so much attention given to the early forma-
tion of correct habits in reading and writing. In one
school the excellence of the reading was truly surprising.

The good effects upon the pupils of the new, well-
lighted, and convenient school-houses, properly furnished,
in some instances are readily perceived. The manners
and the whole bearing of the children are greatly influ-
enced by these accessions. Beautiful and costly things
are in themselves good educators. Thus the work of
the teacher is made easier when the great lesson of self-
respect is early and well learned. In this connection we
can hardly refrain from a brief reference to the exami-
nation of the High School.

It was an occasion of especial interest from the fact that,

131.

while the number of students is so very large, the recita-
tions in the several departments indicated the thorough-
ness that usually results from faithful private tuition.

In many of the studies, especially the Greek and Latin,
it was most gratifying to observe how the marked en-
thusiasm of the Principal and his able Assistants had
been communicated, unconsciously to the pupils. The
course of study here is fully equal to that pursued at the
best of our colleges only a few years since, and the high
standard of scholarship marked in this school, and so
successfully maintained, through the patient, untiring
devotedness of all who give instruction, causes your
Committee to feel that the name " High School " is no

unmeaning name.

GEORGE W. DURELL, Chairman.

GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

Though these schools are under the charge of able and
experienced instructors, and though there have been but
few changes in the teachers' department during the past
year, yet the recent examination of them, impressed us
with a feeling that, with two exceptions, they have not
maintained in every particular the enviable position they
had acquired a year ago.

The falling off seems to have been mostly in the first
and second classes, and that in the studies of Reading
and Grammar. We can but think that some of our teach-
ers have lost some of their interest in teaching these
two most essential branches of study.

Many of those exercises in vocal drill, that serve to
cultivate the voice, to secure distinctness of articulation,
and energy of expression, might be introduced to advan-
tage.

132

Arithmetic, Spelling, Geography, History, and Penman-
ship are satisfactorily taught, and the order is generally
good.

We hope to see a system of individual promotions re-
stored. We believe this system will promote a healthy
enthusiasm in study, secure the best efforts of the pupil,
make him ambitious to learn, and remove the constant
friction attendant upon the class system ; that through this
agency, lessons -can be assigned to a class, adapted to the
mental and physical capacity of each pupil, and that the
studies in our Grammar schools are not so varied that pup-
ils need be deprived of its advantages. Under the class
system of promotions, a pupil's advancement is a question
of time, while under the individual system, it becomes a
question of industry, of talent, of punctual attendance,
and of general attention to the business of the school ;
under the class system, some pupils have little or noth-
ing to do to get the lessons assigned, while others work
hard, become discouraged and disheartened because they
are unable to do the work of the class. The individual
system meets the wants of each pupil, does not ruin one
with over work, nor make another indolent for lack of
work.

S. A. CARLTON, Chairman.

HIGH SCHOOL.

This school continues to maintain the high character
which it has had for many years past. It is fortunate in
being under the charge of a principal, who, to excellent
scholarship, adds thorough devotion to the interests of
the school.

Occasional visits to the school, and a recent careful ex-
amination of the several classes, enable us to speak more

133

confidently at the present time, than we felt warranted
in doing, in the report of last year.

Of the character of the instruction given in the vari-
ous branches of study, there is with the Committee but
one opinion. It is thorough in all departments. The
principal and his assistants have evidently labored most
assiduously to promote the best interests of their pupils,
who in turn have been faithful to their several studies.

The school is at present very large, numbering 137
scholars. We believe no other town in the State has so
large a number of scholars in its High School, in propor-
tion to the population. These scholars have all under-
gone a rigid examination, before their admission, and
consequently the standard of scholarship is high. But the
school is too large for the room it now occupies. The
government of so large a number of pupils in one room,
will of necessity require careful supervision on the part
of the principal, which added to the labor of teaching,
must make his work peculiarly arduous. We ask the gen-
erous co-operation of parents and pupils, in efforts to
lighten as much as possible his labors, by giving him that
encouragement which he has so richly merited.
For the Committee,

JOHN P. MARSHALL.

In closing we would urge upon the attention of parents,
teachers, and Committee, the vast importance of the
cultivation of kindlv relations and a mutual crood under-
standing. Here should exist the most cordial co-oper-
ation. Our interests are identical. Our aims are one.
We are all laboring for the attainment of the same
object — the highest good of those for whose proper

134

training we are mutually responsible. But our relations
are peculiar.

Parents are the divinely appointed teachers of their
children. Hence the relation of the parent to his child
is the only natural relation existing in our present sys-
tems of secular instruction. But He who in wisdom
established this relation and imposed its responsibilities,
implanted also those ardent parental affections whose
strength none can measure.

The relation of the teacher to his pupils is temporary
and artificial. Parents in transferrin g- their duties cannot
transfer their affections also. Civil law regards the
teacher as occupying the place of the parent- but no
legislation can impart to him who assumes this artificial
relation, that tender parental love, which " suffereth long
and is kind ; " which " seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil ; " but " beareth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things."

To harmonize these different relations, and to over-
come these natural deficiencies should be our constant
endeavor. Teachers should labor assiduously to come
into sympathy with parents, and to cultivate affection
for their pupils. And parents should earnestly strive to
inspire their children with confidence in their school,
and with affection for their teachers.

We all labor more cheerfully and effectively in accor-
dance with our inclinations, and especially in the direc-
tion of our affections. Duties are pleasures when the
heart is in them. A great point is gained, therefore,
when the school and the teacher secure the confidence
and love of the pupil.

He is the wise teacher who labors earnestly to render
himself worthy of the confidence and love of those whom
he instructs and controls.

He is the judicious parent who cheerfully co-operates

135

with the teacher to render the school pleasant and
profitable to the child.

REPORT

OF THE

OVERSEERS OF POOR

During the financial year that has just closed, there
has but little transpired not common to the business of
the Poor Department. The number applying for relief,
will not vary much from one hundred families, represent-
ing about four hundred persons ; which was about the
number for the preceding year. This, on the whole, may
be considered favorable, if we take into consideration the
largely increased population of the town. Only a very
small percentage of this number have a settlement in
Somerville, or in any other place in this Commonwealth.

At the present time there are only three persons re-
ceiving full support from the Town, viz., Henry Kinsley
and Bridg-et Bradburn, at the Vermont Asvlum at Brat-
tleboro, both mocleratelv insane : and Truman Morrill at
the Charlestown Almshouse. The a^re^ate cost to the
Town for the support of these three persons, does not
amount to quite four hundred dollars per annum, which
sum, we think, the town will consider sufficiently low.
when assured that the comfort and well beings of these
persons at each of these places appear to be well cared
for.

Early in the year, the sum of four hundred dollars was
paid into the Town Treasury by the guardian of Henry

154

Kinsley, the same having descended to him from the
estate of his late brother, Calvin Kingsley. This sum has
been passed to the credit of onr Poor Account. Some-
thing more, it is supposed, will be realized by the town
from the same source.

During the past three years, the tendency of legisla-
tion has been in favor of extending increased facilities in
favor of acquiring settlements, by which means a very
large number of persons have become possessed of such
settlements within the period named.

The " Naturalization " clause, which has made natural-
ization a condition precedent to acquiring a settlement,
has within a year been repealed ; as has also the clause
in the Military Act of 1865, making six months residence
in a place next preceding such enlistment, one of the
conditions to obtaining; such settlement.

It may be found necessary for the town, in order to
protect itself from largely increased expenditures for this
department growing out of this legislative action, to as-
sert its legal rights, by sending to Tewksbury, very many
of those who fall into distress, having no settlement in
any place in this Commonwealth, and who have hitherto
been the recipients of the free charity offering of the
Town. In case such a course should be found necessary,
due discrimination should be made in favor of families of
temperate and industrious habits, among whose members
are pupils of our schools.

The case of Joseph W. Martin, wre think, should not be
passed over by us in silence. He, it appears, served in
the late war to the credit of our Town, for nearly twro
years ; so that according to law, when within our limits,
if in distress, he was entitled to relief or support, which
wje supposed in cases of this nature it was intended by
the Town to have relieved by the Selectmen from the
appropriation of five hundred dollars for relief of Soldier's

155

families voted last April to be disbursed by that Board.
Relief, however was, declimd by that Board, and we were
under the necessity of providing for his support, he being
very sick at the time. He was received at the Charles-
town Almshouse where every needed attention was
given him, and where he expired after about seven weeks
residence. His remains were buried in a suitable mariner
at Woodlawn Cemetery.

Within the year, some six families whose settlement is
in this town, have been relieved by other places in which
they now reside, and the expenses of such relief paid by
our town. Thus far the expenses incurred in behalf of
such persons, has been comparatively small, but from this
fact, we cannot feel assured that such will be the case in
future.

Coal in this department was contracted for in July at
$7.50 per ton.

Having been actuated by a desire to consult not only
the financial interests, but the generous sentiments of
the town, as well as the necessities and deserts of those
applying for aid : we find as a gratifying result, that our
expenditures have fallen considerably within the appro-
priation made for the current year, by the town, after ex-
cluding the unanticipated $400 from the Kinsley estate.

While it is gratifying to find our burdens so light for
support of the Poor, it is humiliating to see the agencies
and instrumentalities for demoralization, degradation and
want, so actively at work in our otherwise prosperous
town.

The Board of Water Commissioners of the City of
Charlestown have- — through their Engineer — caused a
survey and plan of this town to be made, with reference
to the introduction and distribution therein, of the Mystic

157

Water, and have designated on said plan the sizes of the
pipes which it is deemed will be requisite.

The most favorable conditions upon which the town
can hope to obtain a supply of the water are, that the
town (or such portions thereof as it may be decided to
be expedient) shall be piped — including the cost of the
pipe and the laying of the same — at the expense of the
town. The water will then be furnished to the takers at
the same rates as are, or may be, charged to the citizens
of Charlestowm ; the Water Commissioners collecting all
water rates, and crediting and paying this town from the
gross amount so collected, fifteen per cent, on all sums
to $20,000 ; twenty per cent, on all sums in excess of
$20,000 to $30,000; twenty-five per cent, on all sums in
excess of $30,000 to $40,000; thirty per cent, on all
sums in excess of $40,000 to $50,000 ; and forty per cent,
on all sums in excess of $50,000. The terms of the con-
tract between the cities of Charlestown and Chelsea, for
supplying the latter named city with the water, precludes
the possibility of obtaining more favorable terms than
those stated, for a supply of water for our towrn.

By the plan of the towrn, before alluded to, it appears
that a 12-inch pipe was intended as a main, to commence
at the main supplying the City of Charlestown, near the
junction of Medford and Main streets, in the town of
Medford, to extend through Medforcl street, across Broad-
way, to Central street, and thence- through Central to
Milk street, near the Middlesex Bleachery. The distance
from the Medford town line to Milk street is about 5,800
feet, It was originally intended by the Water Commis-
sioners to lay a 24-inch pipe from the reservoir on Wal-
nut Hill, through Elm, Milk and Washington streets, as
an additional main to the City of Charlestown, and is
so laid clown on the plan, to which reference has already
been made ; but that project having been abandoned, it

158

would only be necessary for a local supply of water, to
lay an 8-inch pipe — as a main — in Milk and Washing-
ton streets. An 8-inch pipe has already been laid by the
Water Commissioners — as a main — commencing on
Broadway, in the easterly part of the town, and running
through Franklin, Pearl, Myrtle and Washington streets
— westerly — to Asylum Avenue. The distance on
Milk street from Central to Washington street, at Union
Square, is about 3,200 feet, and the distance on Wash-
ington street from Union Square to Asylum Avenue, is
about 2,700 feet.

The cost of the pipe per foot, including the laying, will
not exceed $2.25 for the 12-inch, $1.50 for the 8-inch,
$1.10 for the 6-inch, and 85 cts. for the 4-inch pipe.

The cost of constructing these mains would be,

to Milk street about . . . $13,000

From Central to Washington street, at Union

Square, about ..... 4,800

From Union Square to Asylum Avenue, about 4,200

Making a total of about .... $22,000

Should the town decide to introduce the Mystic Water,
this Committee would propose the election of a Commit-
tee of three [five] to be called the " Somerville Mystic
Water Committee," with authority to obtain the neces-
sary legislative enactments to enable the town to raise
and appropriate money for the construction and mainte-
nance of the works; to conclude a contract with the
Charlestown Water Commissioners; to lay in addition to
the mains — or any portion thereof that may be decided
upon — branch pipes from the mains and other branch
pipes, through such streets as it shall from time to time
be found expedient; to assess persons taking the water
from the mains and branch pipes, such proportionate
part of the cost of constructing the wTorks as shall be

159

deemed equitable, and to make any and all arrangements
in regard to the introduction, distribution and supply of
the water, both as regards the pipes already laid, and
such as may be laid, as shall be found consistent with the
best interests of the town.

Somervill?, April 13, 1868.

The Report having been read, it was voted " That the
Report of the Committee be accepted and adopted, and
that the Committee recommended, for this year, consist
of Aaron Sargent, C. E. Ryines, R. A. Vinal, R. E. Dem-
mon, and Cutler Downer ; and that the sum of thirty
thousand dollars be appropriated for this purpose, and
that the Town Treasurer be authorized to borrow the
said sum for such term of years and on such conditions
as he and the said Committee shall deem advisable."

The first work of the Committee was to procure the
necessary legislation to authorize the making of a con-
tract with the City of Charlestown, and permit the laying
of the distribution pipes.

Through, the influence of our townsman, Hon. George
0. Brastow, President of the Senate, the Committee pro-
cured the passage, by the Legislature of

An Act Supplying the Town of Somerville with Water.

[Chap. 202 — Statutes of 1868.]

Be it enacted, dec, as follows :

Section 1. The town of Somerville is hereby author-
ized to lay, construct and maintain within the limits of
12

160

said town, such pipes, aqueducts and structures in con-
nection with the water works or aqueducts of the City
of Charlestown, as may be requisite for the purpose of
supplying water to the inhabitants of said town for the
extinguishment of fires and for other uses. And the said
town is hereby fully authorized to raise by taxation, or
by borrowing from time to time, an amount not exceed-
ing one hundred thousand dollars for the purposes herein
specified.

Section 2. The said town of Somerville is hereby
authorized to assess and collect upon the polls and estates
of the town, real and personal, all taxes necessary for the
payment of the principal and interest of such promissory
notes as shall be issued under the provisions of the pre-
ceding section.

Section 3. The said town of Somerville shall annually
elect a Committee of ^.Ye from the inhabitants of the
town, who shall superintend, control, direct and make
such rules and regulations for the construction and main-
tenance of such pipes, aqueducts and structures as are
authorized under the provisions of Section 1 of this act.

Section 4. All acts done by the inhabitants of the said
town of Somerville, at a legal town meeting holden on
Monday, the thirteenth day of April, in the year one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, having reference
to a supply of water, are hereby ratified, confirmed and
made valid, to the same extent as though the provisions
of this act were then in full force.

Section 5. This act shall take effect upon its passage.

Approved May 14, 1868.

Immediately upon the passage of the Act as above, the
Committee made application to the City Council of

Charlestown for the terms upon which the city would
supply this town with water; and commenced investiga-
tions as to the kind of pipe and patterns of stop -gate and
hydrant best adapted for use in our town.-

161

The application to the City Council was referred to the
Mystic Water Commissioners ; and after much delay —
but as soon as it could well be done — the basis of a con-
tract was agreed upon, and approved by competent
counsel, by whose advice, also, the Committee — that
there might be no lack of requisite authority in the
matter on their part — requested the Selectmen to call
a Town Meeting, " to determine what action the town
will take in regard to the introduction of water into the
town, under the provisions of the two hundred and
second chapter of the Statutes of the year one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-eight, and making provision for
the payment of the expenses thereof"

At the meeting, which was held Sept. 18th, 1868, after
much discussion as to the expediency of expending so
large a sum as would be necessary for .the introduction
of the Mystic Lake water, and the feasibility of the es-
tablishment, by the town, of independent water works in
connection with the waters of Spot Pond, in Stoneham, or
Lake Quanapowitt, in Wakefield, it was voted,

" That the town will introduce water in pursuance of
the authority granted to the town by an act entitled
c An Act for Supplying the town of Somerville with
Water,5 passed May 14, 1868 ; and that for the accom-
plishment of this purpose, the Committee appointed by
the town on the 13th day of April last, consisting of
Aaron Sargent, C. E. Rymes, R. A. Vinal, R. E. Deminon
and Cutler Downer, and called the Somerville Mystic
Water Committee, be, and they are hereby authorized to
enter into a contract with the City of Charlestown. upon
such terms and conditions, and with such provisions and
stipulations as they shall deem for the best interest of
the town and its inhabitants for obtaining a supply of
water from said City of Charlestown, and distributing the
same for the use of the town and its inhabitants ; and
that for the inonev which the town, bv vote of the 13th

162

of April last, authorized to be borrowed, the Treasurer is
herebv authorized to issue bonds of the town, with inter-
est coupons thereto annexed, of such denominations as
he, with the approval of the Committee aforesaid, shall
deem expedient." The following is a copy of the

CONTRACT WITH THE CITY OF CHARLESTOWN.

This agreement, made this twenty-first day of Septem-
ber, eighteen hundred and sixty-eight, between the City
of Charlestown, in the County of Middlesex, by the Mys-
tic Water Board, duly authorized, of the first part, and
the Town of Somerville in said County of Middlesex, by
the Mystic Water Committee of Somerville, duly author-

inafter to be paid, hereby agrees to and with the said
party of the second part, that the said party of the first
part will furnish the said party of the second part, all the
water needed by the town of Somerville and its inhabi-
tants during; the continuance of this agreement as here-
inafter provided, and that the supply of the same through,
out the town shall not be restricted, unless the source
should prove inadequate to exceed the requirements of
the cities of Charlestown and Chelsea.

And the said party of the first part further agrees to
collect all the water rents which may accrue for the use
of the water under this agreement in said town of Som-
erville, free from any expense to the party of the second
part, and to provide for the necessary superintendance
and ordinary care of the pipes laid for distribution and
service in said town, and of the hydrants, stop-gates and
metres therein ; provided that the sum to be expended
by said party of the first part for repairs upon said pipes,
hydrants, stop-gates and metres, shall not exceed the
sum of one hundred dollars in any one year, and that all

163

repairs thereof in excess of said amount shall be paid by
the party of the second part. And it is hereby agreed
by the party of the second part that for a period of three
years from the letting on the water, the distribution and
the service pipes and the connections therewith, shall be
guaranteed free from any expense for repairs.

And the said party of the first part farther agrees to
pay to the said party of the second part, the following
per centage of water rates collected in the town of Som-
erville, in such portions thereof as the pipes and struc-
tures are or may be laid by said town in conformity with
this agreement, or that may hereafter be assumed, viz :
on the annual receipts for water rates up to the amount
of $20,000, fifteen percent; on the annual amount in
excess of $20,000, and up to §30,000, twenty per cent. ;
from $30,000 to $40,000 twenty-five per cent.; from
$40,000 to $50,000 thirty per cent.; and on the amount
in excess of $50,000, forty per cent., payable quarterly

And the said party of the second part further agrees
to lay and maintain all the pipes, stop-gates, metres, hy-
drants, (except those now required by law to be furnished
by the City of Charlestown) additional to those already
laid, and everything connected with the distribution and
use of the water within the limits of the town of Somer-
ville, free from any expense to the City of Charlestown.

And the said party of the second part further agrees
to and with the said party of the first part, that for all
the Mystic Lake Water furnished and used by the people
of the said town of Somerville. or by any person in said
town, there shall be paid to said party of the first part, wa-

charged during; the time of this agreement bv the said

CO O . . , at

party of the first part to the inhabitants of the City of
Charlestown, under the same rules and regulations that

164

are or may be established for like use of water in that
city, but the party of the second part is not to be respon-
ble in any case for the payment of said water rates, ex-
cept for water furnished for public use to the town.

And the said party of the second part further agrees
to pass and enact the like rules and regulations as to the
mode of using water as are now, or may hereafter be in
force in the City of Charlestown, with like penalties for
their violation, provided such rules and regulations do not
conflict with the laws of the commonwealth.

And it is further agreed that the party of the second
part may hereafter raise the water rates in the town of
Somerville above those charged by the said city of
Charlestown, if it shall be lawful for said party of the
second part so to do : and in case the water rates in said
town of Somerville shall be so raised, the party of the
first part shall for the collection of the said rates, be en-
titled to five per cent, of the excess thereof over the rates
established in said City of Charlestown.

And it is further agreed that the town of Somerville
shall be privileged to locate ss man}' fire hydrants
throughout the town as it may elect, to be used for fire
purposes only, upon the annual payment to the City of
Charlestown of the sum of twenty-eight dollars for each
three hundred and fifty inhabitants ; the payments for
1869 and 1870 to be based upon the population of 1865,
and on and after 1871 each year, for every five years,
upon the preceding semi-decennial census. In computing
the amount, the fraction shall not be taken into account,
unless it exceeds one-half, when the full price will be
charged ; and it is further understood and agreed that
the water supplied for public fountains shall be charged
at cost.

It is also understood and agreed, that when the City of
Charlestown shall have erected and completed, at its own
cost, the full number of fire hydrants required by the

165

legislative enactment, whether the same shall be on the
line of the aqueduct or not, its obligation shall be deemed
to have been fulfilled as completely as if placed upon said
line.

It is also agreed that if at any time within two years
from the date of this contract, the town of Somerville
shall desire to purchase the distribution pipes and struc-
tures now laid in Somerville at the expense of the City
of Charlestown, for the supply of that town, the City of
Charlestown will sell them for the sum of thirteen thou-
sand dollars, and the town of Somerville will then be en-
titled to the per centage of w\ater rates, and the terms
and conditions herein agreed, will be applicable to the
pipes and structures thus purchased.

And it is further understood and agreed, that if any
arrangement shall hereafter be made for a supply of
water to any other town or city upon terms deemed more
favorable to them, the town of Somerville shall be en-
titled to be placed upon an equal footing.

And the said party of the second part further agrees
to furnish and deliver to the party of the first part, a
copy of a map of the town of Somerville, showing the
streets on which the pipes are laid, and the location of all
the pipes, hydrants and stop-gates, and from time to time
make additions thereto as new pipes are laid.

And it is further agreed by and between the parties to
these presents, that this agreement shall continue in
force until the debt of Charlestown, which has accrued or
may accrue for the construction of the water works shall
be extinguished, and until other and different rates are
established, as hereinafter provided. And it is further
agreed that if at the expiration of this contract the par-
ties shall be unable to agree upon terms for a continu-
ance of a supply of water, the matter shall be referred to
a Commission of three disinterested persons to be mutu-

160

ally agreed upon, and if unable so to agree, then by ap-
pointment of the Supreme Judicial Court.

And it is further agreed, that if either of said parties
shall omit or refuse to perform this contract in all things
on their part, then the matter shall be referred to a
Commission as before named, by whom an adjustment
shall be made, and a compensation determined for such
violation of this agreement.

In witness whereof the parties to these presents have

hereunto set their hands and seals on the day and year

first above written.

TRENCHING.

A favorable contract for trenching was made with Mr.
Alexander Campbell of Charlestown, and the work was
performed under his direction.

DISTRIBUTION PIPES.

After careful consideration, the Committee decided
upon adopting what is known as the wrought iron and
cement pipe, manufactured by the patent Water and Gas
Pipe Company of Jersey City, N. J. The work of laying
the pipe was commenced on the sixth of October last, by
Mr. Benjamin Almy, as the Agent for the Company,
under the direction of Roberdeau Buchanan, Esq., of
Charlestown, as Chief Engineer, and the supervision of
the Committee: and the Committee avail themselves of
this opportunity to express their entire satisfaction with

167

the manner in which the above named gentlemen per-
formed their work.

This wrought iron and cement pipe, is the same kind
that has been laid in Charlestown, Chelsea, Plymouth,
Lowell, Salem, and many other places, and had already
been extensively used in those parts of our town known
as East Somerville and Winter Hill. It costs less than
cast iron pipe, is warranted by the manufacturers for five
years, and on the authority of C. L. Stevenson, Esq., Civil
Engineer, 6i it increases rather than diminishes in strength
with age."

A continuous line of pipe has been laid, with branches
at street connections for future extension, and also at in-
tervals of about five hundred feet for hydrants, com-
mencing at the Med ford town line, on the north-westerly
slope of Winter Hill, and running through Medford
Street to and through Central Street (passing by 28. G
feet of cast iron pipe over the Lowell Railroad,) to Milk
Street, and through Milk (from Central,) to and through
Washington Street, (passing under the Lowell Railroad,)
to Asylum Avenue ; there connecting with an eight inch
pipe, the property of the City of Charlestown, and run-
ning through Washington, Myrtle, Pearl and Franklin
Streets to Broadway.

Before this report shall have been distributed, the
water will have been let on to the pipes ; and for the
following two or three months, it will be chiefly service-
able for the supply of the hydrants : as in consequence
of the lateness of the season at the completion of the
work, but little will be done in laying service pipes until
spring.

STOP-GATES.

The stop-gates selected, were manufactured by the Bos-
ton Machine Company.

HYDRANTS.

The hydrants adopted, are the kind known as the
"Bigelow Post Hydrant;" furnished with two leading
hose nozzles, each ; those located on the more elevated
parts of the work having a four inch additional nozzle
each, for steamer suction.

CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNT.

The Committee regret their inability to give in this
report, an account of the cost of the works, but will pre-
sent it at the town meeting in March or in April : it may
be said, however, that after all bills have been settled,
there will remain in the hands of the Committee, a bal-
ance to the credit of the account.

LOAN.

The loan of thirty thousand dollars authorized by the
;own, has been effected by the issue and disposal of three

oupon Bonds for ten thousand dollars each, denomina-
:ed " Somerville Water Loan," and numbered 1, 2, and 3

espectively, dated Jan. 1, 1869, payable Jan. 1, 1879?
►vith interest at the rate of six and one half per cent per
innum, payable semi-annually.

PIPES LAID, AND NOT THE PROPERTY OF

THE TOWN.

Soon after the laying of the " supply main/' for the
ity of Charlestown, the Water Commissioners commenced
aying pipes in East Somerville and at Winter Hill. At
irst the entire expense was borne by the city : subse-
quently the cost of the pipe and the laying of the same
was borne by the city and the expense for trenching was
Daid by the parties for whose convenience the pipes were
aid : and later still, the whole cost of the pipe, the lay?
Ing and the trenching, has been required from the par-
ties supplied with the water.

By referring to the contract with the City of Charles-
town, it will be seen that the town, within a given time,
has the right to assume, at a stipulated price, such pipes
as are the property of the city ; it will also be seen that
no percentage of return will be payable to the town, on
water rates accruing from these pipes, unless they shall
become the property of the town. As a matter of econ-
omy, therefore, — prospective, if not immediate, — the
committee would recommend the purchase of these pipes :
and would also recommend the purchase of the pipes
owned and laid, either in whole or in part, by individuals,
purely as a matter of equity. There certainly can be no
justice in subjecting these persons to be taxed on pipes
for other parts of the town, while the piping of their par-

170

ticular localities, equally populous, at least, remains to
them an individual expense. The town has voted to in-
troduce and distribute water, as a town measure, and the
rights of any one village in the matter, are the rights of
every other village.

MYSTIC LAKE, RESERVOIR, &c.

){

K

\]

Mystic Lake is in the towns of Medford, Arlington and
Winchester, about three miles from the point of com
mencement of our twelve inch distribution pipe : the
locations of the Pumping Engines, near Mystic River, is
about two miles, and the Reservoir on Walnut Hill — ol
over 26,000,000 gallons capacity — is about one and a
quarter miles from the same point. From the twenty-
four inch supply main leading from the Reservoir tc
Charlestown, a twelve inch pipe — laid by and the prop
erty of, the City of Charlestown, — leads to and connect*
with the twelve inch distribution pipe at the point above
mentioned.

The following table, taken from the Report of the
Mystic Water Commissioners, gives the comparative
purity of the waters designated: —

SPOT POND AND LAKE QUANAPOWITT.

The proposition to introduce water from Spot Pond, oi

\

171

rom Lake Quanapowitt, advocated at the town-meeting
f the 18th of September, induces a few words in refer-
nce to those schemes.

Spot Pond is three and a half, and Lake Quanapowitt
s seven and a half miles in an air line, from the point of
commencement of our twelve-inch distribution-pipe, and
n laying a supply main the distances would be increased
,o at least four and eight miles respectively.

The expense of laying a twenty-inch pipe — which
vould not be less than $25,000 per mile, together with
;he outlay at the pond or the lake for dam, gates, em-
bankment, &c, and for pumping apparatus and reservoir,
for neither of these waters are of sufficient altitude,
ifter allowing for loss of head, to supply the higher
ocalities of our town), would involve the town, — if the
nvestigations and experience of Charlestown are any
riterion, in a debt of over $400,000 in adopting Spot
Pond, and over $500,000 in adopting Lake Quanapowitt,
inclusive of the cost of the distribution pipes ivithin the
town.

The franchise of Spot Pond having passed, in 1867, by
Act of the Legislature, into the hands of parties who
have authority to appropriate the waters therein for the
benefit of the towns of Maiden, Melrose, and Medford
only, nothing further need be said respecting it ; and it
will at once be seen that the interest on a debt conse-
quent upon the introduction of water from Lake Quana-
powitt, together with the expense of maintaining the
same — over $50,000- per annum, exclusive of the interest
on the cost of the distribution pipes — renders this
scheme entirely impracticable.

That there has been no misconception on the part of
the Committee as to the futility of relying upon gravity
works for a supply of water from the places before-
named, may be seen by the following

MAINTENANCE.

As the pipes are warranted for five years ; as the kind
of pipe used " increases rather than diminishes in strength
with age ; " and as the City of Charlestown, by a stipula-
tion in the contract, is liable for repairs to the extent of
one hundred dollars per annum ; it would seem that little
or no expense for repairs will devolve upon the town.
Annual appropriations, however, will be required for the
supply of the hydrants, and for the interest on the Water
Loan. That the appropriation for hydrants should be
charged to "Fire Department" account will not be ques-
tioned : and it is recommended that the interest on the
Water Loan, when paid, be charged to " Water Distribu-
tion " account, and that all percentage of return received
by virtue of the contract, or from other sources, if any,
— be credited to the same account. The appropriations
required for interest will then depend, in part, upon the
expenditure for distribution pipes, &c, and in part upon
the receipts from the water-takers.

Thirty-six thousand dollars, gross receipts, per annum,

111

173

for water rates, would yield a percentage of return to the
town, equal to the interest on an outlay to the extent au-
thorized by the act of the Legislature.

If it be considered absolutely certain that the receipts
For water rates will fall far below this amount, and that a
arge appropriation will be required annually for interest,
it only proves that with independent water works, al-
though the gross receipts would then be credited to the
iccount, — a much larger appropriation to cover the de-
ficiency, would be inevitable; and justifies the conclusion,
that the most economical plan for supplying the town
with water, was the plan adopted.

Should the requirements of the town demand the ex-
penditure of the full amount authorized, and the income
from the receipts for water rates equal one half, only, of
the interest on the outlay, the annual tax for mainte-
nance predicated upon the valuation of 1868 would be
less than thirty-five cents on a thousand dollars valuation.

The question has often been asked if, at one time, the
City of Charlestown was not ready to pipe this town at
the city's expense, and supply the inhabitants with water
at the Charlestown rates. It is now quite too late to ask
the Water Commissioners this question; and opinions
vary. The Committee have but little doubt that it might
have been done; and this seems to have been the opin-
ion of the Selectmen in 1863 ; for in their Report, dated
March 1, 1864, they say: —

" The Commissioners are desirous to know in what
way the town prefer to be supplied with water. They
ay the town can have the water from the main, and dis-
tribute it as they may think best, or if preferred, as soon
as a sufficient number of consumers apply for it, to war-
rant the laying of the pipes, they will do it, and sell the
water on the same terms as to the people of Charles-
town." .......

174

It is recommended that with the opening of Spring,
the laying of the pipes be resumed, and continued un-
til the more thickly settled portions of the town have
been piped.

The Committee are of the opinion that the incurring
of a debt for a purpose like this, should not be looked
upon as an ordinary expenditure for current purposes, to
be repeated annually ; but as an outlay for something
permanent: — for a positive acquisition.

The debt itself will not be paid for many years : —
perhaps never : — only renewed : and when it is remem-
bered that cur town is built almost wholly of wood, it
must be ackno ledged that for the extinguishment of
fires alone, the work will be worth all that we shall be
called upon to appropriate for its support.

The Committee would not close this Report without
acknowledging the many favors they, and this town, are
under, to the Water Commissioners of Charlestown, and
to the Clerk of the Board, for their good will and assist-
ance ; though we may well aver that the best interests
of their city will never suffer at their hands.

In this connection it may not be improper to state,
that there are and have been for three or four years, sev-
eral hydrants in the town — beside those located hy the
City of Charlestown in conformity to law, paid for, one
half by the town, and one half by private subscription,
for the supply of which, the Water Commissioners have
generously omitted to make any charge.

In conclusion, we can only say that in discharging the
duties devolving upon us, we have endeavored to do all
for the best interests of the town.

REPORT

OF

THE SELECTMEN.

Fellow Citizens : — In preparing the Annual Report of
the doings of jour Selectmen for the year 1869, we are
reminded that a season of unusual quietness, but still one
of much apparent prosperity to the town, has passed.

The subject which usually takes precedence in our
Reports, and one which is of the most importance to the
interests and progress of the town, is the condition of its
Streets and

HIGHWAYS.

The large and constantly increasing amount of travel
over our streets, and the increasing demand for estab-
lishing the grade of streets and sidewalks, caused by the
large amount of building, calls for an increase of appro-
priation for the purpose of enlarging the work upon our
highways.

The expenditure the past year has considerably ex-
ceeded the appropriation, for reasons set forth in the
Report of the Committee on Highways, and to which
we ask your attention.

The extension of Pearl street, from Cross to Medford
street, has been completed to its full width, fifty feet,
and is' now open for public travel.

A hearing of interested parties was given by the

County Commissioners, October 22d, concerning the ex-
tension of Pearl street southerly from Mount Vernon
street to the Charlestown line, and they subsequently
ordered the extension to be made, the abutters agreeing
to give the necessary land therefor.

The work of cutting and grading Franklin street has
been successfully done. The completion of this work
has caused an increased value to the estates abutting; and
those in the immediate vicinity, as it enabled the laying
of a sewer and water pipes, thereby affording opportunity
for proper drainage and a supply of pure water, with hy-
drants, for the extinguishment of fires.

Too lively an interest cannot be entertained by our
fellow citizens in encouraging the grading of our streets
and sidewalks, and the building of sewers.

Temple street has been graded according to the plan
adopted.

The subject of accepting those portions of Putnam and
Prescott streets, and the extension of said streets straight
down to Milk street, was brought before your Board by
petition of the several abutters upon said streets, and a
hearing was granted them, after which the matter was
referred to a Committee to examine the premises and
report. Subsequently the Committee reported, That
they did not find said streets suitably graded for accep-
tance, and that when said streets are extended they
should be made straight to Milk street, which views your
Board adopted.

A plan has been obtained and adopted by the Board
for grading Flint street, which work we recommend to
be proceeded with as early as possible in the Spring, to
enable the laying of water pipes through the street.

NEW STREETS.

The order of the Countv Commissioners for the exten-

b

sion of Summer street southerly from Laurel to Bow
street and northwesterly to Elm street, has been received,
and the time specified for the building of these exten-
sions is made to terminate with the year 1870, there-
fore a special appropriation will be required at the next
April meeting, to enable us to comply with the condi-
tions of said order.

The project of a new road from Med ford across the
Wellington Farms, so called, and opening out near and
upon the street leading to Maiden Bridge in Maiden, or
across Mystic River to Mystic Avenue in Somerville,
was considered by the County Commissioners, before
whom the several interested parties were allowed a
hearing in the matter, your Board voted to oppose the
latter project of opening the proposed road to Mystic
Avenue, or at any other point in Somerville, not feeling
that benefits equal to the large expense to be incurred
could ever be derived by the town.

For the further consideration of the subject of streets,
&c, we ask your attention to the Report of the Commit-
tee on Highways, which has been adopted by your
Board.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON HIGHWAYS.

At the last April Meeting the following Streets were
referred to the Selectmen to examine and accept or re-
ject, as their judgment might dictate, viz.

Aldersey, Boston, Belmont, Clark, Ivaloo, Spring, Ben-
edict, Oliver and Union Streets.

After the reference of the above named Streets to
your Committee on Highways, each of said streets were
carefully inspected. Ivaloo and Clark streets were recom-
mended to be accepted, the latter upon condition that
said street could be made safe for public travel by the
County Commissioners causing a watchman, or suitable

6

gates to be placed at the Fitchburg Railroad Co.'s cross-
ing over said street and lnaintained by said Corporation.
Accordingly your Committee petitioned the County Com-
missioners in the matter, causing an examination of the
premises and a hearing before the Commissioners, which
was held September 4th, since which time the matter has
remaiued in their hands, and we await their report.

Subsequently Union and Benedict streets were ac-
cepted. Belmont street was examined, but your Com-
mittee did not find it in a fit condition for acceptance, for
three reasons, viz., want of uniformity in width, crooked
lines and bad grade, and your Committee cannot recom-
mend its acceptance until said street is made straight
from Summer to Milk street and of uniform width, both
of which considerations will allow a much better grade.
Your Committe feel that this is a case where the better-
ment law should be made to apply, unless the abuttors
upon said street can arrange a proper line among them-
selves.

Spring street, south of Milk — better known as Kent
street — is merely a Court, as it does not open across the
Fitchburg Railroad. The Court is from one to two feet
below grade, and bounded northwesterly by the Frank-
lin School-House lot and southeasterly by a vacant lot.
The near proximity of this street to Clark street before-
mentioned would cause your Committee to recommend
its non-acceptance, even were it a street and properly
graded.

Oliver street was not found to be in a proper condi-
tion to be accepted, nor had the time arrived, in our opin-
ion, for its acceptance.

Boston and Aldersey streets were not recommended for
acceptance, as they did not open out to other streets, and
were not, in our opinion, suitably graded.

Some of the contemplated alterations and repairs of

streets have not been made as intended and desired by
your Committee, but a good deal of work has been done
which was not contemplated in early spring as will be
seen by our Report.

■* School and Medford streets have both been but partially
repaired, the former between Highland avenue and Med-
ford streets has been widened and graded ; this portion of
said street heretofore had scarcely been in passable con-
dition. A slight fill is required in this street near Broad-
way, and Macadamizing where the cut was made between
Broadway and Medford streets, also below Highland ave-
nue towards Milk street, and the grade requires changing.

Medford street requires Macadamizing from its junc-
tion with Broadway to Central street, and from its junc-
tion with Highland avenue to Cross street ; also from
Washington to Milk streets.

Your Committee desire to call your especial attention
to the condition of that part of Medford street between
Milk street and the Fitchburg Railroad. This street is laid
out fifty feet in width, but the passage over the bridge at
this point is only twenty feet, and the Bridge so much
decayed that, in the opinion of your Committee, it should
be rebuilt early in the spring, and that the water-course
under it be reduced to the natural capacity of the water
course above the Bridge, say 4 ft. to 5 ft. in width, and
your Committee would also recommend that said street,
from the bridge to Milk street, be filled to its full width,
fifty feet, and guarded by a substantial railing.

The wrork of grading and Macadamizing Cedar street
is being proceeded with, and before spring your Com-
mittee hope to see it completed.

In addition to the before-mentioned streets, Macada-
mizing is also required on Broadway in the hollow, Elm
street from its junction with Milk street to Cedar street,
Beacon street from Washington street nearly to the

8

bridge across the Fitchburg; Railroad and Lin wood street
its entire length. Especial attention is recommended to
this street, as it is at times almost impassable. A heavy
body of Macadamizing is required on this street, as
nearly the whole road-bed is little better than a mass
of clay.

Washington street has long needed repairs, and we
would also recommend the attention of the Board to this
street, from the Charlestown line to the Railroad Bridge.

A portion of the work on the above streets will be
done the present winter.

Your Committee would invite especial attention to the
fact that a large item has been drawn from the highway
fund for setting edge-stones and the attendant expenses
of grading and paving gutters, &c, and we recommend
that a separate apnropriation be asked for at the next
April Meeting, to meet this uncertain expense.

Your Committee would recommend, that no impedi-
ment be put in the way of those who desire to have
edgestones set, but rather that an inducement should be
offered, as the setting of edgestones necessarily requires
establishing the grade of the street, paving the gutters
and filling the sidewalks, thereby completing a street.

The number of feet of edgestones set the past year is
seven thousand five hundred and fifty-five feet, which
work required about four thousand yards of paving, in-
cluding cross walks, &c. The total cost to the town of
the above work, includins; the filling of the streets and
sidewalks and Macadamizing the same is nearly seven
thousand dollars.

Seventeen cesspools have been constructed the past
year at a cost of about seven hundred dollars.

Your Committee feel that a very desirable object
would be obtained could Milk street be widened from the
northerly end of Bow street southerly to the Cambridge

line — this portion of the street is now only fifty feet
wide, while from the first named point northerly to the
Cambridge line, it is sixty feet, the inconsistency of this
difference in width, will manifest itself to any one by a
moment's reflection, when you consider that the several
converging streets entering Milk street at or below
Union Square throw all the travel from those points
over the narrowest part of said street, and therefore
for all reasons the lower end should be the wider of the
two.

There is now but one side-walk on this street, from
Medford street to the line of East Cambridge. Your Com-
mittee need not remind }^ou that nearly twice the travel
passes over Milk street than of any other avenue through
the town, notwithstanding its imperfect condition.

The time is not far distant when additional room will
be required for the use of the town teams ; the present
premises are fully occupied, both stable and sheds, and
no additional stable or shed-room can be made on the
present premises.

The town farm is centrally located and well situated
for the purpose of keeping the teams, and your Board
recommends that a portion of the farm be devoted to the
purpose of erecting suitable stables and sheds for the
town teams, and a small block of tenements for the
teamsters.

In conclusion, your Committee, without suggesting any
amount, earnestly recommend a large increase in the ap-
propriation for highways, feeling that the interests of the
town require and demand it.

SEWERS.

An increased interest in the matter of sewerage has
been manifested the past year, and a number of petitions
have been answered by causing sewers to be constructed
in different parts of the town. In view of the numerous
calls for sewers, your Board thought it desirable for the
interests of the town that a systematic plan of sewerage
for the whole town should be made, as main outlets must
be decided upon soon.

For particulars and further suggestions in this depart-
ment, we refer you to the Report of the Committee on
Sewers, which was adopted by the Board.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SEWERS.

The importance of providing for the town a thorough
system of drainage can hardly be overestimated. Con-
sidered merely as a sanitary measure it deserves the at-
tention of every friend of humanity, and of every one
who has sufficient intelligence to comprehend its bear-
ings upon his own case, or that of his family.

It may be assumed as an established fact that there is
less mortality in well-drained districts from almost every
variety of disease, than in those imperfecty drained.
This is particularly true in respect to epidemics. It is
plain that our community are beginning to be awTare that
one great cause.of the prevalence of disease is neglecting
to provide suitable drainage.

It thus appears in its first aspect as a matter demand-
ing outlays of money ; and therefore essentially unpalat-
able to many, though it be to secure an immunity not
too dear at any price within their ability. But sagacious
owners of property have not failed to remark the advance
in values by which this outlay will be, on the whole, and
speaking in a wide view of the matter, much more than
repaid. The town of Someryille cannot afford to avoid

11

the cost and care of all such improvements as enhance
the valuation of lands, and supply for her vacant territory
conditions of comfort demanded as indispensable by the
better class of occupants; and which establish, perhaps
for an indefinitely long future, the character of localities
at a mark far above what they would touch if left unim-
proved.

As a matter of plain necessity, as well as of common
wisdom and economv, our sewers must be built on
some general and harmonious plan — and under public
direction rather than by private companies or individ-
uals.

Thus far no suitable outlets or main channels of dis-
charge have been constructed, and for that reason the
relief aimed at in the few common Sewers now completed
has been but partially afforded. While the population, in
whose vicinity under-ground drains have been built, enjoy
improved conditions, other sections not merely remain
unimproved, but are led to apprehend absolute detri-
ment through the conveniences accorded to their neigh-
bors. No open drains (to which still other and more ob-
vious objections apply,) should be tolerated in any place
or for any space of time not absolutely and inevitably
necessary. Ample and early provision should be made
to insure that, in removing a nuisance from one section,
it shall not be conducted to another, and there serve to
aggravate evils already claiming abatement.

As the sole means of obviating a liability to such ex-
periences, it is evident that some general system should
immediately be adopted. A candid consideration of the
importance of this matter is earnestly urged upon every
citizen of the town. The subject of sewerage is in its
very infancy with us. From the extent of our territory
and the general sparseness of our population over the
greater portion of it, it is but recently that, efforts in that

12

direction have been made: A few, and only a few, com-
mon sewers have been constructed in this town.

As our population becomes more dense, by natural in-
crease and the expected accessions arising from the growth
of Boston, and the increasing necessity of providing
houses conveniently near the city for her business men,
the inconvenience and disadvantage to property arising
from deficient sewerage and like causes becomes more
apparent. The recent introduction of the Mystic water
supply, in itself a grand and most beneficial improve-
ment, only renders the necessity for action still more
obvious and urgent.

In accordance with the vote of the board, ordering a
general survey of the town to be made, your Committee
have had plans prepared, showing the two districts claim-
ing, as we conceive, the earliest consideration, the means
to be used, and the route to be followed, in their con-
struction.

It is the recommendation of your Committee that
every branch sewer should be constructed in reference
to the general plan thus inaugurated ; and further that
some order should be taken looking to the construction
of trunk sewers upon, or in some way corresponding to,
the two lines already surveyed. A general map of the
town also accompanies this report, in which the division
of its territory into districts is indicated as closely as the
present progress of the survey affords the means of de-
ciding the same. The system has been prepared with
much care, under the direction of Edward Frost, Esq., an
engineer and surveyor of much experience in this branch
of his profession. The adoption of such a system will
necessarily involve a large outlay directly by the town.
It is a difficulty which must be met without much further
delay. From a merely pecuniary point of view, there can
be no doubt that a wise policy will dictate that ample

13

provision should at an early day be made to meet this
pressing want. From the numerous applications for sew-
ers during the last vear, it is evident that the citizens
of the town are strongly impressed with the importance
and necessity of immediate action. From the inadequate
appropriations made by the town, it has been found im-
possible to comply with many of the numerous requests
of our fellow citizens.

During the past year common sewers have been es-
tablished as follows :

Franklin Street, .

Flint Street, .....
From Pit-hole across Franklin Street, .
From Pit-hole across Myrtle Street. .
From Franklin Street to Cutter Street, .
Pearl Street, .....
Laurel Street, .....
Purchased of Sewer Company.
Chestnut Street, .....

Total, . . . . .-■--. . 6064 "

The entire expense of the above-named sewers charge-
able to sewer account, is $12,021.44.

Of this sum the town assumes, . . 2,890.47

Assessed on Abutters, .... 9,130.97

Amount appropriated. $3,500.00.

The amount required of the town is, of course, liable
to be increased by abatement of assessments.

The sewers constructed during: the last season have

CD

been unusually expensive and difficult, on account of the
ledge through which thev passed. It was thought, how-
ever, that something would be saved by building the
sewer through Franklin street at the same time the
street was graded. A difficult ledge was also encoun-

tered on Peai4 street, much more serious than was antici-
pated. The ledge on Laurel street, although extending
over three hundred feet, was found comparatively easy
to excavate.

The subject of Sewers has been, more than usually,
pressed upon the consideration of the Board during the
last year. Many difficult questions have arisen, some of
them new to most of our members. The matter of as-
sessments on the abuttors and persons benefited is one
of great perplexity, and it is frequently difficult to deter-
mine what rule or principle to apply in justice to the
parties assessed, as well as to the town, so that the same
may not be liable to objection. The Sewer Committee
have made inquiries as to the rule adopted by other
municipalities, and although no great uniformity prevails
in the methods adopted, they have made use of such in-
formation as they obtained in their methods of assessing
in this town, so far as applicable.

As the Statutes of this Commonwealth do not prescribe
any definite method, it is left to the discretion of the
Selectmen to determine a rule or method, which in their
judgment, shall seem to meet the peculicr circumstances
of each case as it arises. The Selectmen sincerely desire
that no harsh, arbitrary, or unjust rule shall be adopted,
and in the numerous cases of applications for abate-
ment, they have endeavored to give a candid hearing
to the various complaints and views which have been
expressed on the subject. From the authority given by
our Legislature, it is clear that all persons more or less
remotely benefited can be held to contribute their pro-
portion.

RAILWAYS AND BRIDGES.

The subject of the removal of the horse-railway tracks
to the centre of our several streets over which thev now
pass is one of much importance to the interests of the
town.

1 he Committee on Railways and Bridges have had an
interview with the officers of the Union Railway Co., in
regard to the removal of the track on Milk street from
Union Square to its junction with Elm street.

The officers of the Company expressed a willingness
to put the track in the middle of the street over the
above-named portion of Milk street, provided the town
would meet them fairly in regard to the expense. No
definite proportion was named by either party, they not
being authorized to act definitely.

The Committee urge the importance of first construct-
ing a sewer through this portion of Milk street, before
the track is removed, and the Railway Company, desire
it also — so that the centre of the street can be perma-
nently paved between, and each side of the track. The
Committee recommend early action to be taken to com-
plete arrangements with the company, if suitable terms
can be agreed upon.

Your board would respectfully recommend that the
earliest possible action be taken by the town to carry out
the plan of building, and assisting in the removal of the
horse-railway track to the centre of Milk street, and we
believe that the whole expense necessary to be incurred
by the town would be saved to it in three years.

The Committee further report that the President of
the Medford Horse Railroad Co., has promised early ac-
tion in the matter of removal of a portion of said Com-
pany's railway track on Winter Hill, as prayed for by
Mr. Bvam.

16

Your board would ask your attention to the condition
of the Cedar street Bridge over the Boston & Lowell
Railroad ; it is so narrow that teams cannot pass each
other upon it, and it stands at an angle with the lines of
the street. A large amount of travel now passes over this
Bridge, and much of it heavy teams. We recommend steps
be taken to cause said Bridge to be properly widened.

STREET LAMPS.

The number of street lamps lighted by the town is
two hundred and thirteen, a portion of which are still
lighted by fluid, as pipe cannot be laid to reach them
without too much expense.

The small expense to the town in lighting these
lamps, compared with the real value to its interests, is
trifling, and we trust that the value of well-lighted streets
is sufficiently appreciated to cause the number of lamps
to be increased.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

It is gratifying to find that we have passed another
year with such a small loss by fires.

The department has been increased the past year by
the addition of two small hose carriages with hose, and
this addition to the former quantity renders it impossible
for the department, with its present facilities, to take
proper care of the hose ; the present hose-tower has
been for a long time unfit and insufficient for the pur-
pose of cleaning and drying the hose, and the propriety
of the erection of an engine-house on the town land on
Highland Avenue is respectfully submitted to the earnest
consideration of the citizens of the town.

The Reports of the Committee on the Fire Department

17

and of the chief engineer will give you particulars in
this department,

EEPORT OF COMMITTEE ON FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Somerville, Dec. 31, 1869.

At the Town Meeting in April last, an appropriation
of three thousand dollars was voted, for the purpose of
furnishing two hose carriages, with the necessary fixtures
and hose ; one of said carriages to be located at Winter
Hill, and one at Spring Hill.

The purchase of said carriages, &c., was referred by the
Board of Selectmen, to the Committee on Fire Depart-
ment, with full powers, who made a contract with Hun-
neman & Co., for furnishing the two hose carriages with
the necessary fixtures complete, at a cost of $536.00, and
with Boyd & Sons, for 1600 feet of first quality double
riveted hose, with all necessary fixtures complete, at a
cost of $2508.07, the cost of the necessary drag-ropes,
hose-ropes, and hose straps, has been $10.36, making the
cost of everything in complete running order, as follows :

Cost of two Hose Carriages and fixtures, . . $536 00

of 1600 feet of Hose and fixtures, . . . 2508 07
of drag ropes, &c, ..... 10 36

Total, $3054 43

The carriages, &c, were located, when received from
the manufacturers, as directed by vote of the town, the
one on Winter Hill being placed in charge of Henry A.
Angier, and the one on Spring Hill in charge of C. E.
Rymes.

Since the location of the Winter Hill Carriage it has
been placed in charge of an organized Company. The
one on Spring Hill is still in charge of the gentleman
who received it from the hands of the Selectmen.

As the Board of Engineers make a statement in detail

18

of all matters relating to their department, it has not been
deemed necessary by your committee to furnish any ex-
tended remarks for insertion in the Annual Report, and
they would therefore leave it for the Chairman of the
Selectmen to make such general remarks as he thinks

proper.

E. A. VINAL,

SILAS H. HOLLAND,
JOHN A PAINE,

Committee on Fire Department.

REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.

Gentlemen : In compliance with the usual custom, I
submit the Annual Report of the Board of Engineers
of the Fire Department for the past year, with a few
recommendations for necessary improvements.

Since our last Report the Department has been called
out 46 times; 33 times to fires, 17 of which were in Som-
erville, 5 in Charlestown, and 11 in Cambridge, and by
13 false alarms.

The Department has rendered assistance in Charles-
town 5 times, in Cambridge 3 times, and has received
assistance from both Cambridge and Charlestown twice.

It will be seen that we have had fifteen alarms and
nine fires more than last year. Yet the losses have been
comparatively small.

Watee.

Since our last Report there has been a great addition
to the supply. Yet there are a great many places with-
out any water ; but we trust that before another year
these wants will be supplied. I would call your atten-
tion again to the introduction of supply pipes into the
reservoirs, as it would prove of great advantage.

19

Hose Tower.

I would again call your attention to this important
improvement, as I believe it to be a great necessity. It
is not a local improvement, but is greatly needed, as the
hose for three companies has to be washed and dried at
this station, and as the present tower is capable of con-
taining only about six hundred feet of hose, it is impossi-
ble to take proper care of it, besides the delay occa-
sioned. I believe it would be a great saving in hose, as
well as in expense, and hope you will give the subject
your earliest attention.

Strength and Condition oe the Department.

Steamer No. 1 was built by Hunneman & Co., of Eox-
bury, and is a credit to the builders. It has been re-
paired the past year, and is in good order. There is in
connection with the steamer a four-wheeled horse hose-
carriage, carrying 1000 feet of hose. Attached to the
steamer is a Company consisting of an engineer and dri-
ver ; also a driver of the hose-carriage, who are perma-
nently employed, and a foreman, assistant foreman, and
eight hosemen, who do duty only in case of fire.

John E. Wool Hose No. 1.

This is a four-wheeled carriage, and was placed in the
Department in 1867. It carries 600 feet of hose, and is
in good repair. It has a Company attached consisting of
a foreman, assistant foreman and thirteen hosemen, none
of whom are permanently employed.

One two-wheeled carriage was placed in the Depart-
ment during the present year. It is capable of carrying
500 feet of hose, and has a Company consisting of a fore-
man, assistant foreman, and thirteen hosemen, doing duty
only at fires. This Company occupies, at present, a room

20

rented for the purpose in the Winter Hill district, but is
poorly accommodated, and I would recommend that bet-
ter accommodations be provided.

A similar carriage, with same amount of hose, is sta-
tioned on Spring Hill, but is in private hands. I would
recommend the formation of a Company for this carriage,
and that it be placed in the charge of the Department,
as it is of little use without an organized Company.

Prescott Hook and Ladder Truck.

This truck carries eight ladders, varying in length
from twelve to fifty feet, with hooks, ropes, axes, rakes
and forks in good order, but is without a Company, as it
is impossible to organize one while the house has such
poor accommodations. I would recommend that the car-
riage be placed in that part of the building now occupied
as a sleeping-room and station.

Telegraphic Alarm.

I would call your attention to this subject, and refer
you to our neighbors in Charlestown and Cambridge for
a proof of the benefits to be derived.

Hose.

There is in use by the Department four thousand four
hundred (4,400) feet of leather hose, 1,200 feet of which
were purchased the present year by the Committee on
Fire Department from your Board.

Twelve Hundred ft. purchased in 18G3.
One Thousand ft. purchased in 1865.
Five Hundred ft. purchased in 1868.

Five Hundred ft. belonged to the Hand Engine, and is
in poor condition.

21

The subject of moving the Steamer from its present
location has been discussed, but I believe it would prove
a disastrous experiment. It would leave that portion of
the town most liable to fires, containing many manufac-
tories representing nearly a million of dollars in taxable
property, without any adequate means of protection, as
there are no hydrants in these localities, and I would
propose that it remain in its present locality.

I would take this opportunity to return my thanks to
the Committee on Fire Department from your Board,
and to the Board generally for their kind support during
the past year; also to the Members of the Department
for the prompt manner in which they have performed
their duties.

I would not fail to thank our Police and Night Watch
for the valuable assistance rendered on many occasions.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

DAVID A. SANBORN, JR.

Chief Engineer of the Somerville Fire Department.

POLICE AXD WATCH.

The records of the past year show an increase in the
number of arrests. In addition to the regular duties of
the night watch they have been on duty the past season
on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. This
arrangement was found to be necessary. We would
recommend that two day police officers be placed on
duty the coming year.

We refer you to the Police Secretary's Report for the
classification of crimes and other particulars in this de-
partment.

22

REPORT OF SECRETARY OF POLICE.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Somerville.

HEALTH.

This subject, although not placed in onr report in the
3rder which its importance merits, demands vigilant and
3areful attention.

The increase of filth in various forms which now accu-
mulates upon the low lands and flats in some sections of
Lhe town, is a matter for serious consideration, and a
nethod to remedy the evil effects is required. Our
;own has been free from epidemic and contagious dis-
eases, and a general state of health has prevailed, but
lotwithstanding, we cannot be too careful of its sanitary
condition.

Numerous complaints have been made to the Board
tgainst parties keeping swine in a filthy condition, and

24

it has generally been found that the principal cause
for complaint arose from an accumulation of foreign
swill being kept on the premises.

We suggest that a form of license be adopted by the
town so that this matter can be better controlled.

CLAIMS. I

The several demands made upon the town for damage,
&c, the past year, have not in all cases been settled, and
could not, in the opinion of your Board, be consistently
adjusted, either from the exorbitance of amount of dam-
age claimed, or other causes.

The Committee's Keport is herewith appended.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS.

Of the various claims made against the town from
different causes, a few only are of that character as to re-
quire any special mention.

The Mass. General Hospital purchased, in 1867, an
additional tract of land known as the Barrell farm, con-
taining about 80 acres, in Somerville. This land, it was
claimed, was exempt from taxation under the 11th Chap-
ter of the General Statute, sect, 5, which provides as
follows :

" The personal property of literary, benevolent, chari-
table and scientific institutions incorporated within this
Commonwealth, and the real estate belonging- to such insti-
tutions occupied by them or its officers for the purposes
for which they were incorporated," shall be exempted
from taxations.

This Hospital claims to be a " charitable and benevo-
lent" institution.

By vote of the town the assessors imposed a tax on
this land and a small dwelling-house let by the Hospital

25

to one of its employees, at a valuation of $40,000 making
a tax of $620, or thereabouts. This tax was paid under
protest, and a suit instituted against the town for its re-
covery.

The suit is defended on several grounds ; 1st, The
land in question was not reasonably required and was not
actually occupied by the institution or its officers for the
jmrposes for which it was incorporated. It was claimed
by the Hospital that the land was required for the pur-
poses of light and air, and to prevent the near approach
of nuisances, as well as for the general purpose of cultiva-
tion in order to furnish the inmates with suitable produce,
and to afford patients the means of exercise, recreation
and amusement. It was also claimed that the tax was
illegal inasmuch as the description of the property was
not in compliance with the Statutes of 1862 relating
thereto. 2d, A part of the property, to wit : the dwelling-
house, was certainly liable to taxation, even if the rest
were not, and that the proper and only remedy was by ap-
plication to the assessors for abatement, and the Hospital
having failed within the time required by law, to resort to
this remedy, had lost or waived any claims for abatement.
The suit has been tried twice before the Superior Court,
and argued twice before the Supreme Judicial Court, on
all the grounds above stated, and is now held by the full
bench of that Court under advisement. A decision will
undoubtedly be rendered before another town meeting,
when the legal rights of the town will probably be fully
determined in the matter. As this matter has been re-
ferred by the town for investigation to a Committee of
fifteen, it is presumed that a more elaborate and compre-
hensive report will be made by them directly to the town
at an early day. The suit of T. J. Smith for damages
sustained from an incumbrance in Medford street has
been settled by the person causing the incumbrance*

26

the town contributing a small proportion of the amount
paid.

The suits brought by Mr. Richardson and Mrs. Elizabeth
Barrett for damages alleged to have been sustained by a
defect on Broadway and now pending before the Superior
Court for this County, will probably be disposed of
the present Winter. The suit brought by Mr. Campbell
on an alleged breach of Contract for trenching for the
water pipes, and the suit brought by Mrs. Brooks for
damages alleged to have been sustained by stepping
into the trench dug for water pipe, are pending, and are
defended under the direction of the Mystic Water Com-
mittee, who have assumed the charge of the same.

CHARLES S. LINCOLN,
FRANCIS HOUGHTON,

Committee on Claims.

Your Board have not considered it necessary to ap-
pend to their Report figures showing expenditures in the
several departments referred to, as reference to the
Treasurer's account will show the result in figures. It
was our intention to keep expenditures within the ap-
propriation, but we have not in all cases been able to do
so. We have considered the interests of the town rather
than the arbitrary line of exact appropriations, and feel
that the expenditures have been judiciously made.

In accordance w^ith a vote of the town passed in April
last, your Board were authorized to purchase a lot of
land for town purposes, and we were restricted by said
vote to make a selection upon Highland Avenue ; con-
sequently a choice in lots seemed to present itself at
once.

The lot agreed upon and purchased is bounded by
Walnut street, Highland Avenue and Medford street;
the frontage on the Avenue and Medford street is four

27

.undrecl and fifty feet each, and occupies the entire
ont on Walnut street, between said Avenue and Med-
3rd street. The lot contains 149,524.6 feet.

The agreement in purchasing the above lot of land is
uch that the town is required to build a forty foot street
djoining the land of Jacob Sleeper — of whom the pur-
hase was made — within two years.

Your Board trusts that very soon this lot of land will
e crowned with a noble structure, which all citizens can
)ok up to with pride and pleasure, feeling that they
old an interest in it.

The rapid progress made in building, and in various
dditions to the value of our town, calls for enlarged
leas for improving the public ways and grounds.

Your Board respectfully presents the foregoing Report
ad views for your consideration.

The town debt Dec. 31, 1868, was $178,924 0

Which was decreased during the past year by the

payment of matured notes, .... 34,575 0'

$144,319 0<
And increased by new loans during the year, . 162.933 4-

Making the present town debt .... $307,282 4^

Which will become due as follows : —

In 1870, $20,933 44

1872, .... 128,495 00

1874, ..... 62,000 00

1879, .... 49,854 00

1884, 46,000 00

$307,282 44

By referring to the Report of the Chairman of the
'Auditing Committee, it will be seen that the increase in
the amount of the Town Debt, was caused by a nearly
corresponding acquisition of Town Property.

The Treasurer was authorized to borrow in anticipa-

81

on of taxes, to meet the current expenses of the town,
o money was borrowed for this purpose, till the 25th
? May, and all the temporary loans had been paid on the
9th of September. This part of the town finances was
Lanaged entirely by the Treasurer, and he is entitled

much credit for the skilful manner in which it was
brformed.

It is recommended that the Treasurer with the ap-
x)val of the Finance Committee, be authorized to issue
oupon Bonds for $21,000, the proceeds to be applied

the payment of that part of the debt which will ma-
ire the coming year.

The practice in former years, — repeated once during
te past year — of borrowing sums of money represented
y units, tens, and hundreds of dollars, should be discoun-
inanced. The loans should be made for even thousands,
his, with a little management, can generally be done,
he theory that the value of property acquired, should

co-equal in amount with a consequent loan, is falla-

ous. The accountant who endeavors to make a ledger

count serve the double purpose of " Notes Payable," and

i " Inventory," undertakes more than he will be able to

feomplish.

Respectfully submitted,

R. E. DEMMON,
CUTLER DOWNER,
AARON SARGENT,

REPORT

OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE

AUDITING COMMITTEE

A vote of the town passed at the Annual Town Me<
ing in March last, imposing new duties upon the Chairm;
of the Auditing Committee, seems to necessitate a Repc
at the close of the year.

The Town Valuation by the Assessors in May last, w
$10,783,050; an increase of $1,408,900 from the pre
ous year; and the rate of taxation, $13 on a thousai
dollars valuation ; a decrease of $6 on a thousand, fro
the year preceding.

The amount of taxes assessed was as follows : —

State Tax, . $14,400 (

County Tax, ...... 5,862 i

Town Tax, (Appropriations) .... 118,750 (

Overlay, . . . . . $1, 205 43

to which add taxes assessed

by Collector, ... 372 10 7,577

i

A total of .... 1146,5897

Of which there has been collected . 128,086 50

And Abated .... 849 05 128,935 5

Leaving uncollected, . . . . $17,654 2

137

In conformity with the vote of the town before ai-
led to, the bills approved by the respective Boards,
ve been by them regularly forwarded, (except that
I no one instance during the year, has a bill been
peived direct from the Overseers of the Poor, or any
^rnber of that Board acting in his official capacity,)
once countersigned, and promptly passed to the
easurer.

The Annual Eeport of the Treasurer exhibits a cor-
ct account of the cash debits and credits to the sev-
al accounts; which vary from the accounts in this
port, only so far as these last have been affected by
insactions in which Cash formed no part, and which,
nsequently, did not come within the province of the
-easurer.
Everything in the Collector of Taxes' department is

a satisfactory condition, and this important branch of
r town government is in good hands.
A vote of the town passed in April last, instructed the
aditors " to insert in the Annual Beport, the names of
persons taxed, and their places of residence": if by
Dlaces of residence " was intended the street and num-
t of the street of each tax-payer, as has been inti-
ated, the latter part of the vote was of no effect,

no appropriation was made to defray the expense ;
ough if it could have been made effectual, it would
rtainly have been an ingenious method for supply-
g each family in town with a Directory, at a trifling
st.

OF THE

Jonunutlc flfpttC; jjjater £ommiifce.

The Committee respectfully submit their second An-
ual Report.

The operations of the past year, authorized by votes
f the town, passed April 26th — comprise the laying of
6,302.1 feet of distribution pipes, with the requisite
;ates, and the setting of 35 hydrants: also the purchase
nd assumption of 21,719 feet of distribution pipes, with
;ates, and 27 hydrants, located in former years.

TRENCHING.

The past year's trenching has been performed under
he direction of a member of the Committee, and in as
conomical a manner as was consistent with a correct
,nd expeditious execution of the work.

DISTRIBUTION PIPES.

These — -both laid and purchased- — are, (except as

lereinafter noted,) of the same description as those used

he preceding year. The laying of the pipes by Mr.

\lmy, under the supervision of Mr. Loring R. Home, of

harlestown, as Engineer, has been successfully accom-

144

plished : and both of these gentlemen are entitled 1
much credit for their fidelity and interest in the prosec
tion of the work under their charge.

For the gratification of the incredulous as to tl
strength and durability of this wrought iron and cemei
pipe, a list of cities and towns in which it is used, is hei
given.

CONSTRUCTION.

All the pipes, stop-gates, hydrants, &c., specified in the
foregoing statements — comprising all the works in our
town through which the Mystic Water flows, with the
exception of the Charlestown supply main, and about five
hundred and fifty feet of pipe in an unaccepted street —
are now the property of the town ; and Construction Ac-
count, as will be seen by the Treasurer's statement, shows
a debit balance of $90,392.16.

All bills and indebtedness incurred by the Committee
for the construction of the works to this time, have been
settled, with the exception of what may be due the con-
tractor for Trenching, in 1868 ; who demanded for a led^e
work " what was, in the opinion of the Committee, at the
time, an exorbitant price ; and the experience of the
past year, with the same kind of work, confirms the pre-
vious opinion.

The Committee are fully prepared to defend the suit
which has been commenced by the Contractor.

Another suit has been instituted against the town for
damages occasioned to a lady by falling into a trench in
the evening, but our contract with the same Contractor
will throw the damages, if any, upon him.

The present value of the works may be stated as
follows :

Expenditures by the Committee, in 1868 and 1869, 890,392.16
Expenditures by the Selectmen, in 1865, 1866, and
1868, charged to "Miscellaneous" and " Hy-
drant " accounts, 1,211.11

Value of Hydrants furnished by the City of Charles-
town in conformity to law, .... 600.00

Total Value, $92,203.27

Of the pipe acquired the past year by purchase, that

150

in Sacramento, Clark, and Milk Streets and Frost Ave-
nue, was bought of the City of Cambridge ; and its pos-
session secures to us two lar^e water takers — the Mid-
dlesex Bleachery, and the American Tube Works.

The water for the supply of the town is received by
means of four connections with the Charlestown Water
Works, viz ; at the junction of Medford Street and Broad-
way ; near the corner of Temple Street and Broadway,
and at the Charlestown city line on Broadway, and on
Perkins Street.

The stop-gate at the Cambridge city line is to be
opened only in case of a temporary failure in the supply <
from the regular sources ; and a similar precautionary
measure having been taken by the cities of Boston and
Charlestown, in the latter named city, our town, in case
of emergency, can be supplied with either the Fresh Pond,
or the Lake Cochituate water.

LOAN.

The loan of $50,000, authorized by the town on the
the 26th of April last, has been effected by the issue and
disposal of a Coupon Bond for that sum, denominated
" Somerville Water Loan," and numbered 4, dated July
1st, 1869, payable July 1st, 1872, with interest at the
rate of seven per cent per annum, payable semi-annually.

Construction account, as will be seen, shows an excess
in expenditures of $10,392.16 over the amount of this
loan, and the loan authorized and effected in 1868 : this
excess has been paid from the funds in the Treasury of
the town, to be reimbursed when required by the Treas-
urer, by the effecting of a loan for a part of the $20,000,
authorized by the town on the 2d of Nov. last.

MAINTENANCE.

" Water Distribution " account of the Town Treasurer

151

| shows the net cost of maintaining the works the past
year, to have been $2,815.87, or a tax of about twenty-
(six cents on a thousand dollars, town valuation.

The water is now supplied to 552 dwelling houses,
(occupied by 672 families); 43 stables ; 11 stores and
shops ; 4 meeting-houses ; 2 manufactories ; the Middle-
sex Bleachery ; American Tube Works ; the Mass. Brick
Company, and the McLean Asylum.

The Committee are again under obligations to the
Water Commissioners of Charlestown : to the Clerk of
the Board, and to the Superintendent of the Works, for
their many courtesies and kindly remembrance.

Our thanks are also due to the Authorities of the city
of Cambridge for the spirit of fairness exhibited by them
in the nogotiations for the purchase of pipe of that city.

Eendering thus an account of their second year's
work, the Committee have only to add, that they have
endeavored to discharge faithfully the trust reposed in

them.

REPORT

OF

OVERSEERS OF THE POOR

So little change from year to year has occurred in the
nature of the applications for relief, and the distribution
of aid to the destitute, that the history of preceding
years is very nearly the history of the municipal year
that has just closed.

The sum appropriated by the town for this department
was $3,000, nearly all of which has been expended in
relieving pressing wants of the destitute.

For a few months past, there has been considerable
sickness in our town, especially of Typhoid fever, which
thus tended in no small degree to increase the expense
required for the relief of the indigent and suffering.

Allusion has been made in former Reports to the Act
of our Legislature in 1865, called the Military Settlement
Law, and to the recent repeal of the Naturalization clause
hitherto existing, as conferring Settlements on a very
large number of persons in our town, the result of which
is becoming very apparent, from the fact that three fami-
lies are now receiving partial support at the town's ex-
pense, by virtue of acquiring such settlements.

This, with the rapid increase of population of the town,
will operate to very much augment the disbursements in
future, for the relief of the poor.

It will be necessary for the town to appropriate, at

153

east $3,500 the ensuing year, for this department to
neet its legitimate wants.

Our course has been to assist widows with families cf
children attending our schools, although they have no
settlement in the State ; where the required amount of
lid did not seem to be too considerable for the town to
neet, where there was no legal responsibility on its part,
Fuel for a part of the year, enables most of such widows
:o keep their families together, and in comparative com-
brt, until their children shall attain the capacity for pro-
viding for themselves. We feel assured that aid thus
rendered, has prevented much suffering, and will, we
lope, be fruitful only of good.

The State has liberally provided well-furnished Alms-
Houses, under the management of suitable and compe-
tent persons, where the destitute, having no settlement
n any place in the State, may go and receive comforta-
)le support ; to which persons having no settlement, and
vho are permanently incapacitated to provide for them-
selves should go, unless they have friends who will pro-
ride for them.

It is no act of charity to render some small assistance to
;uch persons, in filthy and comfortless abodes, who have
;oo much pride to allow them to dwell in an Aims-House,
)ut feel it to be proper, and eminently just to subsist upon
he charities of the town.

It is no part of the duty of the town to support this
ilass of persons, and would be much more for their com-
Srt to be removed to a State Alms House ; and with the
argely increasing number who will ask for, and who can
3aim aid, it will be necessary to thus remove many of
;his class of persons, who have continued to receive aid
)y our board for a considerable part of the year.

Our acts have been criticized by some of our fellow-

154

:

citizens, in some cases, as being too narrow and illiben
and as not coming np to the spirit of the town.

We do not object to any just and impartial scrutiny
criticisms. There has no doubt been destitution and s
fering in many cases, notwithstanding what has bee
done to mitigate and prevent it.

Intemperance ever has exerted a potent influence t
beget want and wretchedness, and where there is dissijn
Hon in either head of a family, there will he suffering and mi
ery in spite of the efforts of Overseers of Poor Boards o\
Charity, or the munificence of the town. The way of th
transgressor is hard, and we do not expect to make i-
easy or comfortable.

James M. Burns, was for insanity, removed to tin
Worcester Lunatic Asylum, some eight months age
where he is supported at the expense of the towr
amounting to about $4.00 per week.

There are two insane persons receiving full support a
the Vermont Asylum. Two sane persons at the Charles
town Aims-House, and one in a private family in Boston

We claim to have expended the money kindly en
trusted to our care with fidelity to the town, and for tli€
purposes, for which it was intended. And, that the poor
and destitute have not been more liberally provided for,
nor received fuller relief, in any of the contiguous cities
for the past year, than in Somerville.

Bespectfully submitted.

REPORT

OF THE

SCHOOL COMMITTEE

««»■«*■ |

In compliance with Statute requirements, we respect-
illy submit the following as the Twenty-Eighth Annual
Report of the School Committee.

"We enter upon a review of our work with a grateful
ecognition of Him who has crowned the year with his
oodness, and rendered it one of more than ordinary
•rosperity.

The lives and health of our children and youth have
>een preserved in a remarkable degree. Only three of
he twenty-five hundred pupils have been removed by
ieath.

Our schools continue to merit the commendations of
ormer years.

We take pleasure in bearing testimony to the faith-
Lilness and devotion of the teachers, and the general in-
lustry and correct deportment of the pupils, and would
xpress our gratitude for the cheerful and almost univer-
al co-operation of parents in the performance of our
tuties.

Great harmony has pervaded every department, and
he entire machinery has moved on with little friction,
onsidering its extent and complication.

158

Each succeeding year develops improved methods
instruction and additional facilities for imparting kno^
edge. The profession of the teacher is constantly gai
ing in popular esteem, and as a consequence, a high<
order of talent is being attracted to it. Teachers ai
bringing to their work more ample qualifications and
broader culture. The art of teaching is better unde
stood. In the maintenance of order the moral elemer
is superseding the physical. We are learning more gei
erally that the noble natures of children and youth ca
be influenced most effectively through their higher sei
sibilities.

The discipline of the school is becoming more like tha
of a well-ordered family, and its attractions are constantlj
increasing.

In our estimation, the school-room should always be
cheerful place, and no needless shadow should ever b
suffered to dim its brightness. While laboring, therefore
to secure the proper intellectual development of oul
children and their rapid advancement in knowledge, i
has been our constant endeavor to render their school
life bright and joyous. For there are no more certaii
guarantees of a virtuous and useful life, than a happj
childhood and youth.

But as the fairest day has its clouds, and human lift
under the most favorable circumstances is but an alter
nation of light and shade, it may be unreasonable, to ex-
pect perpetual sunshine even in the best regulatec
school. We will not cease, however, to aim at the sun
though our arrows may not always reach the mark.

The intellectual and moral culture of the young is a
work of transcendant moment. We cannot over-estimate
its magnitude and results. In an important sense the
happiness, present, and prospective, of our children is

159

pmmitted to our keeping. Each clay we are making
jidelible impressions upon those who are soon to take
ur places and assume our duties, and are giving direc-
on to natures bearing the impress of immortality.

Their characters are being moulded by our own ; their
linds will bear no higher stamp than we imprint upon
lem. How important then that we adorn ourselves

ith " Whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are
>vely, whatsoever things are of good report ; " that we
lay be fitted for a work whose results reach to eternity.

" No unskillful hand should play upon a harp whose
mes are left forever in the strings."

The character of the community to be formed of those
ow composing our schools will depend in a great measure
pon our fidelity, or remissness in their training during
lese years of their pupilage.

Ever seeking the guidance of unerring Wisdom, we
mild prosecute our work with a steadfast purpose, with
atient continuance, and an earnest zeal.

That building is so unfavorably situated, and the schoo

Four new schools have been organized during the
year. One in the Forster School House, one in the
Prescott, one in the Bennett, and one in the Webster.

All the rooms in Prescott School House are occupied,
but there are two vacant rooms in Forster School House.

As Walnut Street is one-eighth of a mile nearer Forster
School House, than Prescott School House, it is proposed
to make the district line more central, and to relieve
Prescott School by transferring to Forster School those
pupils who reside in the vicinity of Walnut Street, and
north of this central line.

There are forty-six female teachers, eighteen of whew
were educated in our own schools, and have been men
bers of our High School.

It has long been the policy of the Committee in maki
ing their selections of teachers to give the preference t<
graduates of our High School, other things being tin
same.

In Memoriam.

It is our sad duty to record the death of one of ou]
male teachers, an event new in our experience as a town!

John D. Marston, Esq., Principal of Franklin Grammail
School, died on the 4th of November last, after a briei
illness, aged 42 years. He was highly esteemed as a cit-
izen, and greatly beloved as a teacher. By uniform ur-
banity and untiring devotion to his pupils, he secured in
an unusual degree, their confidence and love. He pos-
sessed great purity of character, and those qualities of
mind and heart, that admirably fitted him to excel in his
profession, and in his death not only his school but the
community has sustained a severe loss.

V. Pupils.
Pupils who complete the course of study prescribed
for the Public Schools, pass through thirteen separate

163

asses ; three in the Primary School, two in the Sub-
rammar, four in the Grammar School, and four in the
jgh School.

It requires one year for pupils of ordinary capacity to
3Complish the work assigned to each class.

This class numbered thirty-seven, when it entered thfc
School in September, 1865.

Pupils having the industry and perseverance requisit
to complete the entire Course of Study prescribed fo
the Public Schools, and who graduate at the High Schoo*
are entitled to consideration, and ever have been regarde(
by the Committee with special favor.

Their graduation being an important event in thei

history, special effort has always been made to rende

the Anniversary of the school an occasion of peculiar ill

terest, and we would interpose no obstacle to its rationa

enjoyment.

But we feel constrained to give expression to our re
grets in view of the increasing expense, attendant upon

the graduation of classes at the High School.

It is true, that the expense is met by the voluntary
contributions of the pupils, but still our convictions are
that a needless burden is frequently imposed where it
is not always conveniently borne, and that the interests
of the school will suffer in consequence.

It is the glory of our Free Schools, that their benefits
are accessible to all, and their most honorable positions
are open to the meritorious, irrespective of external
differences.

We entertain great respect for those who cheerfully
undergo privations, and subject themselves to personal
discomforts that they may enrich and adorn their minds,
and are anxious to remove whatever may prevent them
from deriving all the benefits the schools can confer.

171

For the accommodation of those who desire to supple-
nent their Grammar School studies, but do not wish to
mrsue the regular Classical Course, we are about to in-
roduce an English and Mercantile Course of study into
he High School.

Several valuable specimens for the Geological Cabinet,
ilso a number of valuable books on the Geology of New
England, have been presented to the school during the
pear, by Charles H. Guild, Esq.

The High School Association have sustained during
;he winter a highly interesting course of Free Public
Lectures, which have been fully attended.

Under the auspices of the Association a class has been
maintained for the study of the German Language.

At their Eeunion in February last, they were favored
with an Address of great beauty and appropriateness by
John E. Tyler, M. D., of McLean Asylum.

PROMOTIONS AND EXAMINATIONS.

Regular class promotions are made in each Depart-
ment near the close of the Summer Term.

The examination of applicants for admission to the
High School, takes place at the High School Building, on
the day next succeeding the Annual Exhibition of the
school.

Each pupil brings from his last teacher a certificate,
indicating that he has completed the course of study pre-
scribed for the Grammar School.

When he enters the school-room for examination, he
finds upon the desk he is to occupy, a slip of paper with

172

his number, and on which he writes his name and as:*
This he retains until the result of the examination i
known.

He is then furnished with sets of questions, designee
to test his knowledge of the various branches taught B
the Grammar School.

Sufficient space is left between the questions to con
tain the answers, which the pupil is required to write ou
in full.

These papers, to which is applied the pupil's number!
are carefully examined by the Committee and Principal
of the school, and the per cent of correct answers is com-:
puted, before it is known to whom they belong.

A Blank similar to the following is filled out by the
Principals of the Grammar Schools for each graduate.

Somervi//e, July, 1869.

The Committee, having before them the pupil's an-
swers to the proposed questions, and a statement of his
standing in the school whence he came, are prepared to
form a correct judgment respecting his qualifications and
fitness for promotion.

We regard a written examination; carefully conducted,

173

fair test of scholarship. In every instance, at our last
ixamination, those pupils who stood first in their respec-
ive classes, ranked the highest on examination ; and the
ank by examination of all the applicants, corresponded,
'ery nearly, to their rank in their respective schools.

Ninety-eight per cent of all the graduates from the
jrrammar Schools applied for admission to the High
School, and ninety-two per cent of the applicants were
tdmitted.

APPROPRIATIONS.

To meet the current expenses of the Schools for the
rear 1869, the town appropriated $45,350.

The expenditures from January 1, 1869, to January
L, 1870, were as follows :

MORSE GRAMMAR SCHOOL HOUSE.

At a meeting of the Town, held on the 26th day of
A.pril last, §27,000 were appropriated to purchase land,
ind construct of brick, a Grammar School House in
Franklin District.

The following named gentlemen were chosen a Build-
ing Committee by the School Board.

Enoch R. Morse, Leonard Arnold,

George W. Durell, Samuel A. Carlton.

174

A lot of land containing 32,320 feet, and situated c.
the corner of Summer and Craigie Streets, was purchase
for 7! cents per foot.

A contract was make with Messrs. Barnard and Lai,
caster of Boston, to construct and complete the buildini
ready to receive the school furniture, for $21,300. Thes<
gentlemen are fulfilling their contract to the entire sa
isfaction of the Committee.

The building, which presents a pleasing appearanc
from every point of observation, was designed by S. J. I
Thayer, Esq., of Boston, who also superintends its con
struction.

It is two stories high with a mensarde roof, and a base!
ment nearly out of ground. The basement contains th«
heating apparatus, a room for fuel, rooms for the janitor
and two spacious entries for the pupils. Each of the tw(
stories has two school-rooms thirty by thirty-five feet h
area, and twelve feet eight inches high in the clear
Communicating with the school-rooms there are conven
ient clothes rooms, and closets for the teachers. The hall;.
and stairways are light and spacious. The exhibition
hall in the roof story is thirty-four by fifty-six feet, and
eighteen feet high.

The building is fifty-three and one-half by sixty-five
and two-thirds feet on the ground. Its front entrance is
from Summer Street, and there are two side entrances
for the pupils.

It is expected that it will be completed and ready for
occupancy early in March next.

We have given it the name of Morse Grammar School
House, in honor of Enoch R Morse, Esq., of the School
Board.

175

TRUAXCY.

Cases of truancy are frequently occurring, and we have
o legalized means of preventing them.

We would recommend the appointment of five Truant
>fficers, one for each school district, as the most effectual
smedv.

It is a sound maxim, that peace is best secured by a
borough preparation for war. An efficient police force
lain tains the quiet of a city by preventing, rather than
y quelling disorder. *

Pupils inclined to truancy, will be restrained by a
nowledge that there are those who are legally appointed
) look after them, and to whom they will be held
men able.

DISCIPLINE.

We are happy to report that the excellent order so
revalent in our schools, is secured mainly by mild
leasures. In many of them, instances of corporal pun-
hment are extremely rare.

In 1843, Hon. Horace Mann, then Secretary of the
■oard of Education, visited Europe that he might make
imself personally acquainted with their system of Public
istruction. In his report published after his return, is
lis testimony: "During a period of six weeks, the
reater part of which I spent in visiting schools in the
orth and middle of Prussia and in Saxony, though I
iw hundreds of schools, and thousands, — I think I may
iv, within bounds, tens of thousands of pupils, — I never
iw a blow struck, I never heard a sharp rebuke given,

never saw a child in tears, nor arranged at the teacher's
ar for any alleged misconduct. I heard no child ridi-
rled or sneered at, or scolded for making a mistake.

o child was disconcerted, disabled, or bereft of his senses

176

through fear. The relation seemed to be one of duty fin
and then affection on the part of the teacher, — of affe-
tion first, and then duty on the part of the scholar."

With confident expectation, we look forward to tr
time, by no means distant, when the same may be saj
of our own schools, and when the rod will be supercede
by duty and love.

HEALTH OF PUPILS.

At certain seasons of the year, large numbers of pupil
belonging particularly to the Primary and Sub-Gramma
schools are absent on account of severe colds. If thes
are induced by causes under our control, it becomes i
to search them out and apply the remedy. We cannc
be too cautious in this matter; for no amount of know
edge within the province of the schools to impart, ca:
compensate for impaired health and an enfeebled cob
stitution.

It was a maxim with Dr. Hosmer, father of the ceh
b rated Harriet G. Hosmer, that " there is a whole lifetim
for the education of the mind, but the body devolopes i]
a few years, and during that time nothing should b
allowed to interfere with its free and healthy growth."

Anything like a full discussion of this important mat
ter is not compatible with the limits of this Report. Bu
a very few and brief suggestions in relation to it, maj
not be out of place.

In cold and stormy weather, we have frequently seer
children shivering about the school buildings before th*
doors were opened.

Our Regulations provide that the school-rooms shal
be opened and that the teachers shall be present both
morning and afternoon fifteen minutes, at least, before
the time for the session to begin.

When the weather is cold or stormy, we would recom

177

lend that the children be retained at their homes until
ley will be sure of gaining admittance to their school-
ooms.

The temperature of the school-room should be kept as
quable as possible. When it is much above sixty-eight
egrees, lassitude is induced, and the liability to take
old increased. If it is allowed to fall much below that
>oint, then discomfort to the pupils will ensue. Since
ur feelings are not always a sure guide in this matter,
ve should frequently consult the thermometer.

A current of air of lower temperature than that in the
chool-room should be most scrupulously avoided when
he children are present.

" A draught is death's dart."

\Ye should avoid it as we would the upas tree. Multi-
Aides of children, by sitting in currents of cold air con-
tract diseases that terminate in death, or so impair their
3onstitutions that they are rendered invalids for life.

In pleasant weather pupils should spend their recess in
the open air. When the weather is cold, care should be
taken, especially in the case of small children, that they
are properly protected by outer garments before they
leave the dressing-room.

In their absence the blinds should be thrown back to
admit the sun, and the windows opened for a fresh supply
of pure air.

PROSPECTIVE WANTS.

Our High School Building is becoming too strait for
the school.

Nearly every available foot of space in the school-room
is covered with desks; all of which have been occupied
during the year.
14

178

Ninety per cent of the pupils who graduated at tl
Grammar Schools in July last, entered the High Scho
in September.

Should only seventy-five per cent of the pupils no'
constituting the first class in the Grammar Schools be a(
mitted to the High School next September, it woul
cause an increase to the school of fifty pupils, after th
graduation of the present first class.

It will be seen, therefore, that there is an immediatl
and urgent demand for additional High School accommc
dations, adequate to the wants of our rapidly increasins
population.

A new school-house will soon be needed in the vicinit1
of Prospect Hill school-house, as all the rooms in tha
building are occupied, and some of them are crowded t<
excess.

A large tract of land situated between Cross and Wal
nut Streets, and extending from Broadway to the Lowel
Railroad, is being covered with dwellings? and is des
tined to be occupied very soon by a dense population
for whose accommodation a school-house will be needed
at a point central between Prescott and Forster school-
houses.

MUSIC.

Instruction in Vocal music has been given during the
year by Mr. S. D. Hadley, and also by Mr. S. Henry 0.
Hadley, a graduate of our High School.

A lesson one hour in length, has been given each week
in the High and Grammar Schools.

The interest of former years, in this important and de-
lightful branch in our system of education, has been well
sustained.

179

TEACHERS.

Having witnessed through a series of years the fidelity
ncl devotion of our teachers, and their promptness in
3n forming to the wishes of those on whom devolves the
asponsibility of giving direction to their efforts, we can
peak of them only in terms of high commendation.

Having passed through a similar experience, we know
aeir perplexities, and are in full sympathy with them in
11 their efforts. In speaking of them and their duties,
herefore, our words will fail to do justice to our emotions
hould they convey any impression but that of our high-
st consideration and regard.

Teachers, such are our convictions of the sacreclness
.nd importance of your work, and so great is our solici-
ude for its successful prosecution, we feel constrained to
ounsel you with great earnestness to a more devout and
entire consecration of yourselves to your high vocation,
o go forth each day under a new inspiration, and with a
;eal worthy of those whose influence is to extend far into
,he unknown future, and whose work is for immortality.

Labor earnestly to render yourselves in all respects an
example worthy of imitation. Strive to be what you
vould have your pupils become ; for most assuredly you
kvill witness in them a reflection of your own character.

In their presence be hopeful, cheerful, enthusiastic,
kind, courteous. Let no storm-clouds dim the brightness
}f your school-room. Utter words of kindness and their
echoes will be harmonious. No words of inspiration are
more sure of fulfilment than these. "With what meas-
ure ye mete it shall be measured to you again."

Always appeal to the higher motives. Pursue towards
your pupils, at all times, such a course as will commend
itself to their better judgment, when they become wise
and thoughtful men and women.

ISO

Permit yourselves under no provocation to give uttej
ance to a word respecting your pupils, that will tend
degrade them in their own estimation, or the estimatic
of their associates. Better far to maim the body than
wound the immortal spirit. Strive rather to cultivate |
them feelings of self-respect, and inspire them with co
fidence in their own capabilities. Their way may J
long and dark before them. They wrill need to be girdel
with all the courage and spirit God has given them, ft!
life's conflict.

Should it ever become your duty to inflict punishmen!
first chasten your own spirit, and let it be manifest to th;
child, that you are impelled to the act by a kind regar
for his welfare, and remember that where there is jud
cious management, such an occurrence is of rare necessity

Since the calling of teachers involves such vast respoi;
sibilities, they need to be most thoroughly furnished, an
liberally endowed by nature and by culture, and shoul
realize most deeply the importance of the interests coir
mittecl to their keeping.

At a time like the present, when science is making sue!
rapid advancement, and new paths of literature are open
ing on every side, and the spirit of the age calls into vigj
orous exercise all the powers of thought, how importan |
that those who are so largely to influence the rising gen
eration, who are to put their impress upon the yielding
mind, and heart of youth, should fit themselves by a lib
eral education, a many-sided culture, and a thoroughly
practical and disciplinary training for such great respon-
sibilities.

There exists, indeed, the necessity of a natural taste
and fitness for teaching, else the most extensive acquire-
ments will be of little avail. No one can hope to succeed
in any department, without the requisite natural endow-
ments, as well as all needful acquired qualifications.

181

To be a skillful physician requires not only a thorough
lowledge of physical science and the human system,
hich is the result of stud}', but quick perceptions, a ten-
3r heart, and an innate love for the human race, the

fts of nature.

So a croocl teacher needs not only to be instructed in
.1 science, to know all the wisdom of the ancients, and
.1 the theories of his own time ; but he must have a
xtience that never fails, a moral force that cannot yield,
nd above all a hearty love for those committed to his
ire, and an earnest desire to instruct them in true wis-
om, and to lead them to its source.

To develop these peculiar gifts to their highest capa-
cities, should be the aim of every one who undertakes
to rear the tender thought," and no means should be
eglected in securing; the desired end.

To teachers we must look mainly for whatever of ex-
ellence we may desire in our schools. Whenever a
aaeher is fired with enthusiasm for his work, his spirit
Si be infused into his pupils. A live teacher will make
live school. A teacher cannot be deeply interested in
ny branch of study, without exciting a similar enthu-
iasm in his pupils. He is their model, their example.
Whatever he firmly believes and enthusiastically teaches
ecomes their creed.

The character of a school depends not merely upon the
xtent of the teacher's knowledge, and his skill and en-
lusiasm in imparting it, but mainly upon what he is.
Personal character carries with it weight ; and hence,
toral force, broad culture, and refinement of tone and
lougdit are among; the most essential elements in one
'ho devotes himself to this most noble and holv calling;.
'he fountain must not only be full, but its waters should
e pure. How important therefore that teachers should
(rive to make their lives pure, their example worthy

182

of imitation, and their characters such as to inspire
trust, the respect, and the love of their pupils.

NORMAL SCHOOLS.

To those who design to become teachers, and who d<
sire to secure a high rank in their profession, we woul!
commend the superior advantages arising from a cours
of study in our State Normal and Training Schools.

We cannot appreciate or commend too highly the ac;
vantages of the course of study pursued in our Higl
School. But our pupils necessarily graduate just at th
time when by mental discipline, they are prepared t(
pursue study to the best advantage, and at an age wheij
mere passive receiving ceases, and the real work of selJ
culture and world-knowledge begins.

A thorough understanding of science, and a lively apj
preciation of books and their uses, demand a mature age;
and minds which previous mental discipline has preparec
therefor.

Normal Schools afford an excellent opportunity to con-
tinue the education which the High School so admirably
commences but necessarily leaves incomplete. They
aim to give to their pupils a wider experience in thinking
and observation, and to teach them how to use the book
lore laid up in the store-houses of the mind, and how to
communicate their knowledge in the happiest manner to
others.

What before had been dimly perceived is enlightened,
and what had faded from the memory, is brought forth
with new power and meaning. They secure a fuller de-
velopment of mind, a wider scope of experience and a
deeper comprehension of the magnitude of the teachers'
work.

183

Many of the exercises of these schools, are especially
jirected to cultivating a taste for teaching and develop-
lg, not only the mental, but also the moral qualifications
jquisite in a good teacher. They aim not merely to in-
ruct in all useful knowledge, but by a practical ampli-
ation of all their teachings, and by the training exer-
ises which form a part of their discipline to give that
eculiar direction to the mental and moral forces which
lust be brought into the teacher's vocation.

Should the discipline of the schools fail to accomplish
hese results in their pupils, then by timely advice they
>revent many young persons from engaging in a pursuit
vhich would be mere drud^erv to them.

While we do not claim that Normal schools make per-
ect teachers, or that no teacher can obtain the highest
)osition without them, we still think they go far towards
iccomplishing their purpose. They inspire their 'pupils
vith a sentiment of the sacredness of the teacher's voca-
tion, and call forth an enthusiasm which no general
30urse of study could arouse.

By order of the Committee,

PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

Our schools of this grade number twenty-one, the list
laving been increased by two the past year.

Children remain in these schools ordinarily about three
pears, or until they learn to read with a good degree of
luency, to spell easy words readily, and are familiar with
lie Roman Numerals, the Abbreviations, Punctuation
Marks, and Tables for the simple rules of Arithmetic..

184

The result of the recent examinations was high]
gratifying. All the commendations contained in theft]!
and able report of the schools of this grade, last ye<J|
will apply to them with equal emphasis at the presen
time. We think all the Teachers are faithful and zealouJ
and many of them from long experience, have acquire,)
a skill m the management of children, truly surprising
By proper discipline, we may retain a lively sympatM
m youthtul hearts and pursuits as years pass on. TVY
deem it worthy of remark, that one of our most sue
cessful, and enthusiastic, and we think we may say pop
ular teachers in this department, has been constantly em
ployed in our schools, ever since the Town was incorno
rated in 1842.

To one having the tact to manage and a heart to love
children, the Primary school is a delightful place • but a
teacher who cannot love children, had better make up
her mind to pursue some other employment. Her labor
is unsanctified, and will exert a baleful effect upon the
hearts and lives of her pupils. The school-room should
be a sunny spot where all is cheerfulness; and the source
of light and happiness must be the large, loving heart of
the teacher.

Unreasoning little children, full of animal life, are very
difficult to govern by harsh treatment, but their hearts
are singularly open to appeals of affection. Once gain
their love, and obedience becomes not a task, but a pleas]
ure to them.

The great secret of the success of a good teacher of
children, lies in a loving spirit, and a mild, firm treat-
ment of them, leading them quietly by the higher mo-
tives of love.

All children are not equally attractive, as all flowers
are not alike beautiful. But the true lover of nature,
will find something to admire in every flower that blooms'

c

18o

o one having the true instincts of a teacher will discover
jometliins; of interest in every child.

The affections of some children, develop slowly with
;he most fostering care, owing perhaps to unfavorable in-
fluences out of the school room ; but as sure as the most
:ardy seed germinates in the light and warmth of the
summer sun, so surely will love and kind treatment
work upon the heart of the most obdurate child, and ex-
pand its life into gentleness and beauty.

0. S. KXAPP, Chairman.

SUB-GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

There are now twelve schools of this grade, one having
been added to the list the past year. They contain about
one-fourth of the pupils in all the schools, and occupy a
very important place in our system of public instruction.

Probably there are no two years in the entire course,
more important than those spent in this department.
Children are then just at an age when their minds are
peculiarly susceptible and pliant, and when habits are
readily formed and firmly fixed.

We labor therefore to secure the most skilful teachers
for this department, and we are happy to report^that
they are doing their work faithfully and well.

Special attention is given to the development and
cultivation of the voice in reading, to spelling and defin-
ing, Mental Arithmetic, and Written Arithmetic through
the Simple Eules, the elements of Geography, and to
forming correct habits in writ in 2;.

The recent examinations indicated faithful instruction,
and commendable industry on the part of the pupils, and
w&re in a high degree satisfactory.

186

In every instance, the order was unexceptionable
most of the schools, the reading was excellent, consider
mg the age of the pupils. In a few instances there wa
want of flexibility of voice, and the style was labored an
measured, the result, probably, of an extra effort to 2
cure distinctness of articulation.

We were greatly pleased with their promptness an
accuracy in their spelling exercises. In some of th
schools there was not a failure, and in several the failure
did not exceed four per cent.

The proficiency of all the schools in Arithmetic an.
Geography fully equalled our expectations.

To those Teachers who, perhaps unconsciously t<
themselves, manifested a degree of nervousness over the
failures of their pupils, we would say, that we do not ex-
pect perfect recitations at all times in any school. Every
one, at all conversant with schools, knows that as striking
contrasts are often witnessed in the same school on dif-
ferent days, as in different schools on the same day ; and
hence we form our opinion of their merits as we do of
human character, not by any isolated event or exhibi-
tion, but by their general tenor, and prevailing tenden-

cies

We much prefer that pupils should never fail, and we
think that great pains should be taken by teachers so to
adapt their questions to a child's capacity, as to remove
the necessity of failure.

It is often unpleasant to witness the immediate effect
of failure upon a child, and painful to consider what may
be the ultimate consequences of a habit of foiling.

We have witnessed how a well disciplined army is de-
moralized by defeat. But the recitation seat is the child's
battle-ground, and victory or failure here leaves its im-
press upon his character. Success inspires confidence,
and this in turn insures success.

It has passed into a proverb, « He is most likely to

187

I vvin, who thinks he will ; " and it is equally true that he
e is most confident of victory who is oftenest victorious.
a The Roman Legions, having never sustained a defeat,
Di regarded themselves, and were regarded by their enemies
a is invincible.

We should omit no opportunity to inspire children
ii with the feeling that they are* fully equal to the duties

assigned them.

E. R. MORSE, Chairman.

GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

The general condition of these schools is nearly all that
could be desired; great excellencies, were found in some,
marked deficiencies in none. The examinations showed
that teachers and pupils had labored diligently and faith-
fully. The thoroughness with which the studies had been
pursued, and the quiet self-reliance of the scholars were
highly gratifying. In several cases the pupils requested
that the examination should be continued even after the
other schools had been dismissed.

A liberal provision is made for musical instruction and
training in these schools, and it gives us pleasure to report
that there is reasonable progress in this department. The
facilities that are afforded to all, however limited may be
their means for acquiring a sound practical education are
rightly appreciated by the people generally, and they
may well indulge a laudable pride in having schools that
compare so favorably with the best in the State. It is
well known that home influences extend to the school-
room, and an unguarded word of a father or mother is
not unfrequently the secret cause of disrespect and ill be-
haviour on the part of a child.

We desire to repeat, with marked emphasis, all that was
said in the report last year of the need of great delib-
eration and caution in the administration of discipline.

188

The consciousness of possessing physical, legal and mora
power over the child is in itself a strong temptation to th
teacher. The question of expediency, as well as righ]
must often be considered, and a wTise discretion must b
observed in making rides for the government of the school

THE HIGH SCHOOL.

The annual examination of this School, was held during]
two days, and the result was very creditable to teachers]
and pupils. In all departments the instruction seemed to1
have been equally thorough, and the general deportment!
of the scholars indicated self-respect, and a correct appre-
ciation of the necessity of maintaining good order in a!
room crowded to repletion.

We should fail in our duty to these teachers, and schol-
ars, if we did not urge the need of better accommodation
in rooms, sufficiently large to hold each class separately,
as is now done in the Grammar Schools. The latter have
all outgrown their old School Houses with a single School
room, and miniature recitation rooms, and there seems to
be no good reason for continuing this policy in the High
School. If our citizens were disposed to send a large por-
tion of their children to private teachers, as is done in
many places, where an ill-founded predjudice exists against
public instruction, there would be no increased accommo-
dations needed for many years. But fortunately for Som-
erville, private seminaries of learning are not indigenous
to its soil, nor have they been able when imported, to
flourish by the side of our excellent public schools.

This we feel is a matter for sincere congratulation, and
while our High School continues to send out such noble
young men and women, fully prepared for college, and
thoroughly trained for the industrial pursuits of life, we
cannot fail to see that it is for our real interest to furnish
every means for promoting its prosperity.

189

We may refer here with a just pride to the spirit which
actuates the graduates of this excellent school, in creat-
ing and maintaining a lively interest among the youth of
the town, in literature and science. During the past two
years, the High School association composed of the past
members and graduates, have formed classes in the Lan-
guages and Natural Science, for the purpose of pursuing
still further the study of those branches of education.
Courses of lectures, and musical concerts have been in-
stituted under their patronage which the citizens of the
town have been invited to attend, free of expense. We
have yet to learn, that this has been done in any other
town in the Commonwealth. Similar associations have
been formed, in other places, but their ambition seems to
have been satisfied with an annual supper, and a dance,
or they have foundered on the rocks of private feud or clis-
sention. As long* as the graduates of this school show
such a praiseworthy spirit of mutual improvement, and a
desire to promote the public morality and intelligence, we
feel confident that their efforts will meet earnest encour-
agement from all wise citizens. At the same time the
fact of the existence, and prosperity, of such an associa-
tion, reflects great credit upon the High School, and gives
stronger evidence, than any assertions of the School
Board could do of the wise management and elevating
influences of this school.

The consciousness of possessing physical, legal and moral
power over the child is in itself a strong temptation to the!
teacher. The question of expediency, as well as riglr
must often be considered, and a wise discretion must be
observed in making; rales for the government of the school

THE HIGH SCHOOL.

The annual examination of this School, was held during?
two days, and the result was very creditable to teachers
and pupils. In all departments the instruction seemed to
have been equally thorough, and the general deportment
of the scholars indicated self-respect, and a correct appre-
ciation of the necessity of maintaining good order in a
room crowded to repletion.

We should fail in our duty to these teachers, and schol-
ars, if we did not urge the need of better accommodation
in rooms, sufficiently large to hold each class separately,
as is now done in the Grammar Schools. The latter have
all outgrown their old School Houses with a single School
room, and miniature recitation rooms, and there seems to
be no good reason for continuing this policy in the High
School. If our citizens were disposed to send a large por-
tion of their children to private teachers, as is done in
many places, where an ill-founded predjudice exists against
public instruction, there would be no increased accommo-
dations needed for many years. But fortunately for Som-
erville, private seminaries of learning are not indigenous
to its soil, nor have they been able when imported, to
flourish by the side of our excellent public schools.

This we feel is a matter for sincere congratulation, and
while our His;h School continues to send out such noble
young men and women, fully prepared for college, and
thoroughly trained for the industrial pursuits of life, we
cannot fail to see that it is for our real interest to furnish
every means for promoting its prosperity.

189

We may refer here with a just pride to the spirit which
actuates the graduates of this excellent school, in creat-
ing and maintaining a lively interest among the youth of
the town, in literature and science. During the past two
years, the High School association composed of the past
members and graduates, have formed classes in the Lan-
guages and Natural Science, for the purpose of pursuing
still further the study of those branches of education.
Courses of lectures, and musical concerts have been in-
stituted under their patronage which the citizens of the
town have been invited to attend, free of expense. We
have yet to learn, that this has been done in any other
town in the Commonwealth. Similar associations have
been formed, in other places, but their ambition seems to
have been satisfied with an annual supper, and a dance,
or they have foundered on the rocks of private feud or dis-
sention. As Ions; as the graduates of this school show
such a praiseworthy spirit of mutual improvement, and a
desire to promote the public morality and intelligence, we
feel confident that their efforts will meet earnest encour-
agement from all wise citizens. At the same time the
fact of the existence, and prosperity, of such an associa-
tion, reflects great credit upon the High School, and gives
stronger evidence, than any assertions of the School
Board could do of the wise management and elevating
influences of this school.

REPORT

OF THE

SELECTMEN.

Citizens of Somerville: — Agreeably to a long and well
established custom, it becomes the duty of the Selectmen,
at the close of the year, to submit for your consideration
a general statement of the condition of affairs in Town.
This they will try to do as briefly as is consistent with a
clear understanding of the several subjects to which your
attention is invited.

The Selectmen are charged with the care and conduct
of many important public interests, several of which,
have about equal claims to precedence in this Report.
Some order of arrangement being necessary to facilitate
this work, and the subject of good roads being one of
those interests which most deeply concerns the inhabi-
tants of the Town, we first submit for your consideration
the

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON HIGHWAYS.

Among the various subjects of interest connected with
our Town affairs, that of Highways is one of the most
prominent; as good roads are essential to its welfare and
prosperity. It is the first object that attracts, and en-
lists, the attention of the public, as the true index of the
public-spiritedness of its inhabitants.

We cannot therefore afford to avoid the cost of main-

r

taining this important branch of public improvemen
Liberal expenditures for building, and maintaining goo
roads, are but so many evidences of a well devised, an
judicious public policy, towards enhanced valuations, an
largely increased taxable property.

STREETS ACCEPTED.

The following streets have been accepted by the St;
lectmen, during the year, and the Town has ratified thei
action, viz. :

Glen, between Pearl and Flint streets.

Mount Vernon, between Perkins and Pearl streets.

Heath, between Temple and Bond streets.

Evergreen Avenue.

Mount Vernon, from Pearl to Washington streets, upo
condition that the abuttors cut and grade the same, h
ginning at Pearl street and extending two hundred an
fifty feet towards Washington street, three feet in dept
at the brow of the hill, graduating each way in an eas
grade.

Dane street, upon condition that it can be made sal
for public travel, by the County Commissioners causin
a watchman, or suitable gates to be placed at the Fitcl
burg Railroad Company's crossing over said street, an
maintained by said corporation.

Petitions for acceptance of various other streets hav|
been received, and referred to your Committee, and i:
each case carefully examined and considered ; their width
and condition ascertained.

The following are recommended for acceptance at thi
next Town meeting, viz. :

Belmont and Forest streets.

REPAIRS.

The principal repairs, (which include stoning an<

30veririg) and expenditures, have been made as follows,
viz.:

Cedar, from Broadway to Clydo street, and a portion

between Summer and Elm streets at a cost of, . $1,225.00
Medford, from Broadway to Central street, . . 2,912.00
Broadway, between Cross and Walnut streets, . . 1,315.00
Elm street, from its junction with Milk street to

' Cherry street 2,406.00

Porter street, 255.00

Flint street, its entire length, 1,178.00

Belmont street, its entire length. Three hundred dol-
lars of which was paid by the abuttors, . . 871.00
Webster Avenue, between the Fitchburg Railroad

and Prospect street, . . . . . ■ 545.00

Medford street, between the Fitchburg Railroad and

Cambridge line, 1,270.00

Washington street, from Charlestown line to Tufts

street, 6,805.00

Paid Middlesex Horse Railroad Company towards re-
moving track into the centre of Washington street, 2,833.00
School street, from Highland Avenue to Milk street, . 1,590.00
Webster, between Cross and Glen streets, . . 539.00

School, between Medford street and Broadway, . 613.00

Twenty-eight cesspools have been constructed the past

season, at a cost of about, ..... 2,000.00
Paid Franklin Meade on account of contract for crush-
ing stones, ..../.. 2,500.00

The expenditures upon Washington street may seem
large to those unacquainted with the circumstances, but
when it is understood that the Richardson survey widen-
ed and straightened the street, and in making the repairs,
we had to fill the widening from one and a half, to two
and a half feet deep ; the cost will not appear excessive.
This widening covers about one half the width of the
street, and could not well be deferred.

General repairs have been made iu all parts of the

town, from time to time, as occasion required. In mak
ing repairs, it has been the intention of your Committei
to give precedence to the most urgent cases.

One team has been constantly employed in patchim
streets, and cleaning cesspools, and we are satisfied thai
a larger force might be employed to advantage in thL<
particular direction. The amount of labor performed
upon our streets the past season, has largely exceeded that
of any previous year. The result is before the citizens
of the town, and we hope it will meet their approbation.
Your committee have endeavored, that the repairs upon
the roads should be performed in a permanent, and satis-
factory manner. Special attention has been given to
the principal main thoroughfares, and the process of mac-
adamizing, (which is the only substantial, and practical
method, of building roads capable of sustaining the large
amount of heavy travel constantly passing over them)
has been conducted as nearly upon scientific principles,
as circumstances would admit.

It has been suggested, that some system of under-
drainage should be devised for the removal of the surface
water from our principal streets, but the construction of
sewers which has wisely been commenced, furnishes cess-
pool drainage which is superior to any method of under-
drainage that can lie adopted.

EDGE STONES. I

The number of feet of edge stones set during the past
season, is two thousand and eighty-three feet, at a cost of
about fifteen hundred dollars. But little interest has
been manifested during the year in this important branch
of street improvement. This work is entirely dependent
upon the action of the abuttors, and is therefore an un-
certain expense. By a vote of the town, the Selectmen
are instructed to set all edge stones asked for ; but it is

to be presumed, however, that they have some discretion-
ary power in the matter, as otherwise they might be
called upon to make expenditures to an unlimited amount
It is desirable that a reasonable amount should be set
each year, especially on streets having sewers, so that
the gutters may be paved, for the conveyance of water.

STONE CRUSHING.

The removal of the Union Horse Railway track into
the centre of Milk street being under consideration, and
the Board not deeming it necessary or desirable to make
any essential change in the grade of the street, it be-
came apparent to your Committee that only a thin layer
of macadam would be required to grade the street after
the track was laid. Therefore some material uniformly
broken and more durable than blue ledge stone, seemed
desirable. To obtain granite chips was found too expen-
sive, no alternative was left but crushed field stone, and
x contract was made writh Franklin Meade, to crush three
thousand yards to be used in making repairs on Milk
street. This trial will give the town an opportunity to
:horoughly test the value of crushed granite, as com-
oared with blue ledge stone. For top dressing, filling
'uts, and making slight repairs, crushed stone makes
nuch neater, and more durable work ; the material being
iner, and the pieces of more uniform size.

GENERAL REMARKS.

In conclusion, your Committee earnestly recommend
t liberal appropriation for Highways, and would urge
)he necessity of continuing the policy of making repairs
lpon the principal main thoroughfares, until thoroughly
md permanently repaired. Beacon street, Mystic Ave-
me, portions of Broadway and Milk street require re-

8

pairs, that should be made as early in the spring as pa
sible, and on no account permitted long to remain, i
their present imperfect and unsatisfactory condition. Lii
wood street and Medford, from Washington to Milk stree
are at times almost impassible ; it is the intention of you
Committee to grade and macadamize both during th
winter. Drainage, being an important element in th
maintenance of our streets, advantage should be take
of the numerous sewers constructed the past season, b;
an increase of cesspools of adequate capacity, withii
equal and uniform distances, thereby relieving the street
of the surface water, and at the same time preventinji
the sewers becoming: filled with sand. Soon as the mail
streets are put in proper condition, the cross streets, ove
which there is heavy travel, leading from one principa
avenue to another, should be put in order.

Following these, side-walks from one principal point o
centre, to another, should be constructed, in different sec
tions of the town, thus contributing to the general cor
venience of the citizens, and improving in beauty an<
usefulness, our Highways.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SEWERS. j

Much importance has been attached to the matter o:
inaugurating a matured system of sewerage throughoul
the Town, adapted to the peculiar formation of its terri
tary and the somewhat complex system, or rather warn
of system, of streets. A large portion of the most-popu

ous districts has been carefully surveyed, and outline
naps have been drawn showing the courses of the prin-
ipal drains projected as requisite to accommodate the
arious sections. A general plan has thus been presented
,nd confirmed and established by subsequent partial exe-
ution, which determines the several outlets through
yhich all the sewers must be made to discharge.

The step thus adopted, though bold in character and
weighty in consequences, is taken in the right direction ;
Dr it must be evident on a moment's reflection that no
ystem of small sewers can be made available for house-
rainage without duly providing for the outlets : and it
rill also appear that an early and large expenditure in
he construction of Trunk conduits must be made, impos-
ig a large burden upon the town, in meeting its proper
hare of the cost.

Both the general plan devised and the particulars as
d depth and other characteristics of construction have
een established only by a complex and laborious study :
ach separate, question involves in its settlement other
ases, and sometimes this is in a very remote manner and
ir from obvious. Sometimes conflicting considerations
re to be harmonized or compromised. The task of se-
uring the largest immediate benefit coupled with the
reatest present economy is a case where conflicting in-
arests cannot be harmonized, and compromise is the only
lode of action left possible. It need hardly be said that
he Engineer employed to furnish the project of a system
as been guided, not to say governed, by a great variety
f facts. He has attempted to secure the immediate bene-
t, the present economy, and still beyond this the perma-
ent utility of each portion of work constructed. The
resent and future condition of the highways in which
lese sewers are to be maintained, the streets that are
et to be opened, the water areas that are yet to be re-

10

claimed, and a variety of far less obvious matters are i
have their weight in the inquiry.

The general "Map of Drainage" and the two "Distrl
Maps " referred to in the last Annual Report, all prepare
by Edward Frost, Esq., C. E., from surveys executed und(
his supervision by the order of this Board, embody in
permanent form the outlines and the ruling features (
the Sewerage System now growing into existence. "W,
are assured by him that it meets the chief requiremenl
and harmonizes with reasonable success the conflictin
conditions under which we are working. We conside
that it is a safe and reliable guide, and proper to be ir
variably consulted when we seek to determine in wha
direction the sewerage funds shall be applied. It is no
so rigid as to be deficient in adaptability, nor on th
other hand so lax and vague as to fail of affording a guid
and rule. It has proved elastic enough to meet som
temporary necessities by the partial progress already a1
tained towards its construction, but this circumstanc<
scarcely detracts from the urgency, and certainly no
from the confidence, with which we urge upon our sue
cessors and fellow citizens the growing and imperative
need of its further prosecution growing out of the depen
dence of all real estate values within the town upon th*
condition of this great question, and from a pecuniar
point of view, if from no other.

lie whole cost of the Sewers constructed as appears

from the various reports, .... $49,304.91
ie whole amount of assessment, . . . 32,028.52

The matter of assessment has been one of much per-
ixlty. The Statutes does not lay down any rule except
it the parties benefited shall pay a proportional part
the charge, certified by the Selectmen, the party
eming himself aggrieved having the right to appeal to

12

a jury. Much pains has been taken to render the asses
ments as just as possible, and much difficulty has bet
encountered from causes essentially unavoidable.

First : The Board have to determine what share,
any, the town shall assume, then the party assessed
interested to make his own tax as small as possib'
When the sewers are small, the difficulty in a measu!
or wholly disappears. The rules of other towns ai
cities in this regard, so far as any have been adopte
have been examined and are found to possess no gre
uniformity, and our own experience has not yet suf
ciently supplied us the data for the adoption of any d:
tinct rule of universal application.

Second : The application of a uniform rule to indivi
ual cases has been found difficult when from the situatit
of the premises the benefit to be derived is small,
when the sewer is not available to the estate, or when
sewer is not immediately needed or required in the es-
mation of the owner.

The action of the Board thus becomes one of great d<
icacy, and liable to encounter much sharp criticism, n
to say opposition. Their position is not a pleasant on
their duties however conscientiously discharged are fi
quently subjected to much severe comment. This
quite natural, and not without its proper and salutai
influence. The objections urged by various parties ha^
been carefully considered, and in many instances the
force acknowledged. A few years experience, it is to 1
hoped, will obviate many of the difficulties hitherto i
garded as serious and perplexing.

PROPOSITIONS FOR THE COMING YEAR.

By inspecting the map of the Broadway District it w
be observed that several of the open drains and wat<

13

mrses have been diverted into the large Trunk sewer
r Middlesex street, thereby relieving the respective
eischborhood of nuisances and certain estates from ease-
Lents more or less impairing their value and availability
>r building purposes. This relief alone amply compen-
ites the large outlay. There yet remains in this vicinity
ae other open drain extending from Cutter street
irongh private land, and crossing Glen and Rush streets,
> Cross street ; at this point emptying into the sewer
mstructed during the year now closing. Upon this
pen drain a large portion of East Somerville depends,
id this becomes an increasing cause of complaint to par-
es adjoining. The nuisance may readily be removed
ther by diverting the drain through Glen to Brook
xeet, and through Brook to Cross street, together with
mthward extension of the Cross street sewer to meet
ie same, or by carrying it into Broadway and so westerly
» meet the latter at a lower point. This improvement

very earnestly recommended.

Your Committee desire to call the attention of the
oard and the inhabitants of the town to the plan for
te relief of the District south of the Fitchburg Railroad.

is proposed to build a sewer at an early day nearly
irallel with the Railroad through a private street already
irtially laid out, and which also may be required for
ie proper accommodation of the public travel.

This work operating jointly with that already con-
ructed in Milk street will relieve the Fitchburg Railroad
? a large amount of water and filth now flowing in open

tches along their track, and will afford suitable drain-
*e for a large area of land heretofore very wet and un-

althy, and quite unfit in its present condition to be oc-
ipied with dwellings. Although your Committee do not
ish to unduly press their views, or to seem to dictate
.e action of any future Board, they cannot but feel it

14

incumbent upon them to invite the inhabitants of m
town, especially those in this section, as well as our sv«
cessors in office, to a careful consideration of this partifl
lar proposition.

The Perkins and Mt. Pleasant street sewer is provide
with a temporary outlet of discharge through' a privaj
sewer emptying upon the territory of the Boston m
Maine Kailroad Corporation. It wras the intention of II
Board to prolong this sewer across Broadway and privaj
land to Mystic Avenue : sinking and enlarging a snuj
portion of the Mystic Avenue drain to a proper depj
and size. The lateness of the season and the absence
some of the proprietors of lands through wThich this ej
tension must be carried, rendered it impracticable to
done the present year, but it is hoped that another ye;
will see it accomplished.

The outlet or trunk sewer for the Broadway distri
has been constructed to a point in Middlesex street 4!
feet northwardly from Broadway. The plan of sewera|
contemplates extending at a future time across the mar:
to Mystic Avenue, thence to Mystic River, this propose
extension being for a distance of about 2300 feet. Tl
entire construction of the work will not be immediate
required, several years may well be taken for its compl
tion, building each year such portion thereof as circur
stances may require. It will become immediately ir
portant however, that a sufficient width of land be take
under the Statutes of the Commonwealth, or otherwise b
deed from the owners, on wThich to establish the line ii
dicated. By the formation of a street from Broadwray i
Mystic Avenue upon the desired route, a double purpos
Will be accomplished, as a large tract of land, otherwi*
of but little value, will become a developed and availabl
property.

A proper outlet is desired to be built on Medfoi

15

reet, to be arranged in conjunction with the new abut-
ents and bridge that is likely to be provided in lieu of
e present. Many concurring reasons demand that this
rangement be accomplished without delay.
There is urgent occasion for immediately providing
werage for Summer street from School street to Union
[iiare, securing thereby an opportunity to drain the
tates on Putnam and Prescott streets, whose need of
is accommodation is very considerably felt. As a tem-
>rary arrangement, this Summer street line may be
ade to discharge into the line already carried through
nion Square.

1 The intercepting sewer in Cross street, which occupies
very important place in the operations by which the
lainage of a very large district is to be accomplished,
ould be soon extended to the point where it will inter-
ct the natural water-course near Oliver, late Broome
eet, and if practicable, in such manner as to command
i flood water that sometimes chokes the ditches and
vers the tracks of the Boston & Lowell Railroad, in
lich case the Railroad Company will undoubtedly lib-
ally contribute to the expense.

Perhaps it is hardly necessary to say that the labor of
tending to the construction of sewers during the last
ar has been much greater than ever before. The want
a suitable superintendent has been seriously felt by
e Board, and as the work and care of sewers must
cessarily increase from year to year, this want becomes
e more pressing. There should be some person whose
elusive duty it should be to have a direct and super-
sory charge of sewers in connection with the Superin-
ident of streets. Th^ large cesspools emptying into
3 various sewers require vigilant care, if their useful-
ss to the streets would be perfectly realized ; certain
juirements or regulations should be adopted, so that

16

these cesspools at stated periods, and otherwise if neces-
sary, may be examined and cleaned.

In closing, the question of a thorough and adequate
system of sewerage, and its bearing upon health, conven-
ience, utility, condition of streets, and improvements oi
lands, and a judicious economy is respectfully submitted
to the consideration of our fellow citizens.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RAILWAYS AND

BRIDGES.

The work of reconstructing that portion of the Middle-
sex Horse Railway, in the centre of Milk street, betweer
Union Square and Elm street, was the first business
which occupied the attention of your committee, and an
arrangement was made with the Union Railway Com-
pany to rebuild said Railway in the centre of said street,
between the points above named. Subsequently the
question of laying a sewer in the centre of Milk street
came up, and it having been decided to build the sewer,
prevented the plan of rebuilding the Railway track before
next Spring. Your committee fully appreciated the im-
portance of building a sewer before the track was placed
in the centre of the street, but much regret that the
work prevented consummating the plan of relaying of th
Railway track the present season.

That portion of the Middlesex Horse Railroad Co
pany's track lying between Charlestown line and Tuft
street, on Washington street, was removed and a substan-
tial track was built in the centre of said street, between
the points above named, the distance being about nine

17

teen hundred feet. The great improvement caused by
rebuilding the above piece of track in the centre of the
street, must show to all citizens the necessity of having
all our Horse Railway tracks placed in the centre of our
streets at the earliest practicable time.

The efforts which have been made by your Committee
to cause the removal of a portion of the track of the
Somerville and Medford Horse Railway Company on
Main street, having failed to cause its removal, legal pro-
ceedings were instituted against the Company, and which
are now pending. Although now too late in the season
to do the work of removing said track, your Committee
feel that arrangements will be made before the official
year closes, so that the plan of removing said track can
be done early in the spring.

Upon the petition of R. A. Demmon and others for re-
locating that portion of the track of the Middlesex Horse
Railroad Company between Union Square and Cherry
street, action was taken on said petition, and legal pro-
ceedings have been made to cause a new location for said
track in the centre of streets over which it may pass.

The Boston & Lowell Railroad Company having built
a branch from their main track near Central Street to
the Arlington branch of the Fitchburg Railroad Com-
pany's track, had, of necessity, to cross over several of our
streets, viz. : Lowell and Cedar streets, Willow Avenue,
and Grove, Elm, and Holland streets. The season was
so far advanced before the track was laid that the rails
could not be properly leveled at Holland street, or the
wTork of grading any of the streets completed this season.

The Railroad Company intend erecting two depots on
this branch, which will afford to citizens in that neighbor-
hood additional facilities for quick despatch to Boston,
and which will partially remunerate for crossing so many
streets. The President of said Company has assured your

18

Committee that said streets shall be suitably and satisfac-
torily graded as early as practicable in the spring. The
track across Holland street is five inches above the
grade intended.

The President of said Company has also assured the
Committee that the bridge on Cedar street over their
road shall be rebuilt and widened next spring. Your
Committee feel that this is an important matter, and that
it should have early attention. The present structure is
a frail one, being at an angle with the line of the street,
and too narrow to admit of teams passing each other
abreast.

The Committee have arranged with the President of
the Fitchburg Railroad Company to rebuild the bridge
on Washington street over their road. Said bridge is to
be straightened on the south-easterly side and widened
to forty-five feet ; the approaches and abutments are to
be extended to a corresponding width. This work will be
commenced at the earliest practicable time.

The question of a legal and protected crossing on Dane
street, across said Company's track, is now resting with
the County Commissioners, and action will soon be taken
in the matter. A safe crossing here is much needed, as
there is now only one protected crossing over said rail-
road, between Washington street (near Union Square) and
Beacon street, (near Porter's Station) ; the distance being
nearly one mile and a quarter.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON POLICE. 1

One of the most important elements of our Town Gov-
ernment is a well organized Police Department.

19

On entering upon the duties of organizing the police
force of the town for the year, the propriety of increasing
the number of night watchmen was duly considered, and
the Committee was unanimous in the opinion that the
police force should keep pace with the rapid increase of
population.

That the good reputation of the town, the security of
its property, and the safety of its citizens demanded addi-
tional police force.

The result of the Committee's deliberations was re-
ported to the Board ; and the Selectmen gave instructions
to have the town new districted, and two additional offi-
cers appointed. The town is now divided into seven
districts, each of which has a regularly appointed night
watchman, who is held accountable for the disorders that
may occur, and the crimes that may be committed, until
he shall bring the offenders to punishment according to
law.

In order to secure the services of good, true, and faith-
ful men to take charge of these districts, your Committee
recommended to the Board that the night watchmen of
Somerville be paid three dollars a day for their services ;
which recommendation was adopted by the Board.

By raising their pay dignity is given the position ; the
officers are enable to maintain themselves and their fam-
ilies respectably without engaging in other occupation,
thus giving them an opportunity to devote their whole
time and talents to the service of the town.

The place of confinement for persons under arrest,
known as the " Lock-up," ought to be enlarged. Before
hot weather returns, some plan should be devised to fur-
nish further accommodations for this department of our
police.

For details of this department you are referred to. the
report of the Secretary of Police which follows :

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Somerville, Dec. 31, 1870.

With the date of this Report closes a year of remark-
able exemption from losses by fire.

The fire department of the town is in good working
order ; and to a casual observer it might seem that noi
changes are required to make it more efficient ; but the
rapid growth of the town, with the consequent increase
of the number of buildings, and the increased danger
of fire, from the tendency to crowd buildings together
as land rises in value, renders it necessary, in the opinion
of the Committee, that some further means should be
provided to increase the usefulness of the fire depart-
ment- among the most important of which are the fol-
lowing :

First. A more suitable building for the accommodation
of the Company and apparatus of the hook and ladder
truck.

Sepond. A more suitable house, and an alarm-bell ,
thereon, for the use of the Winter Hill hose company ;

23

as, in case of fire in that vicinity, the m ambers of the
company are dependent for an a1 arm upon the bell on
the Forster school house, which is altogether too remote
from their present house.

Third. An alarm bell in the Spring Hill district.

The Committee believe that the last two measures, if
adopted, will answer the purpose for an alarm in case of
fire, until the time, not far distant, when a fire-alarm
telegraph will be necessary.

For information more in detail concerning the Fire
Department, the citizens are referred to the Annual Re-
port of the Engineer.

REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :

Gentlemen: In accordance with the usual custom I
submit the Annual Report of the strength and condition
of the Fire Department, with a few suggestions of im-
provements which are much needed.

Steam Fire Engine.

This branch of the department is of the utmost impor-
tance in our town, much more so than in many towns
for the reason that our town is blessed with such a large
amount of elevated ground, which in many places is very
thickly covered with wooden buildings, and the pressure
on the water pipes is so light in many places, that it is
of no service without the aid of a steamer. We are often
compelled to force water a great distance, and should a

24

fire break out in some of these localities, one steamer
would be insufficient to cope with the fiery element. I
would therefore recommend the purchase of another
steamer to your consideration, with the hope that it will
meet with your approval, and be adopted by the inhabi-
tants. As the town is growing very rapidly, and is in
many places closely settled, every one will see that
we are very liable at any time to have one of those de-
structive fires which have visited other places, and if we
do not provide ourselves with apparatus to help defend
our homes, we should not expect that our neighbors will
do it for us. And although they stand ready at any time
to lend a helping hand, yet it is not fair to expect them
to do it all.

Water.

I would again call your attention to this important
subject with a hope that measures may be taken to have
a better supply in some localities. On the south side of
the Fitchburg Railroad there is a large territory almost
wholly without a supply, andthe buildings are of such a
nature that should a fire break out at any time in this
region, we may expect it to be very destructive, and
should this happen, we are poorly prepared to battle with
the fire. There are other localities very poorly supplied,
and I would recommend that hydrants be placed on the
pipes in every street at intervals not to exceed fiYe hun-
dred feet.

New Hose Carriage.

It was also voted to procure a new hose carriage and
hose to take the place of the Steamer in its present house
when the steamer should be removed to its new quarter.
This carriage is nearing completion, and will add much
to the strength of the department.

25

Hose Tower.

I would again call your attention to the subject of a
ower in connection with the present steamer house
tmieh is to be occupied by the new hose carriage, as I
hink it will be needed in connection with the new tower
vhich is being erected with the new house, which tower
vill not accommodate all the hose of the department.

New House for Hose Co. No. 2.

Your Honorable Board are aware that the house occu-
)ied by this Company does not belong to the town, they
>eing tenants at will and liable at any time to be warned
o leave the premises. The company are poorly accom-
nodated, the room being small, and very cold. They are
issatisfied with their situation.

It has been some trouble to keep the company recon-
iled to their quarters with the hope that they would
ave a new house, and I hope you will give it your con-
ide ration and favor.

Telegraph Alarm.

This is one of the most important subjects for the citi-
ens to consider. Some means are needed by which an
larm of fire can be given to all the inhabitants at once,
hereby saving that delay which is occasioned by the
>resent mode of giving an alarm. I would again refer
o our neighbors, Charles town and Cambridge for infor-
nation on this subject.

Strength of the Department.

The Department consists at the present time of Steam
Engine No. 1, which is at present located on Washing-
on street,, and is in thorough repair. In connection
vith this Steamer there is a four-wheeled hose carriage,
nd a company consisting of an Engineer and Driver of

I

26

Steamer, and driver of hose carriage, who are perma
nentiy employed, an assistant Engineer and company c
nine men who do duty only in case of fire.

John E. Wool Hose Co. No. 1.

This is a four wheel carriage of the Philadelphia pa*
tern, drawn by hand, carries six hundred feet of host,
and is in good repair. The company attached to this cai
riage consists of a Foreman, first and second assistants
and twelve members, none of whom are permanent];
employed.

Winter Hill Hose Co. No. 2.

This company have in their charge a two wheele
carriage carrying five hundred feet of hose. The con
pany was organized abont one year since, and has prove
a great addition to the strength of the Department. Th
company consists of fifteen men, employed only at fire*

Prescott Hook and Ladder Co. No. 1.

Since my last Report there has been a company ovgi
nized for the care of this carriage. It consists of Fore
man, first and second assistant foreman, and nine ladde
men, on duty at fires only.

Spring Hill Hose Co. No. 3.

This carriage is still out of the department, it being ii
charge of a citizen of Spring Hill. I would suggest tha
it be placed in charge of the Department, as it is of n<|
service to the town in its present situation.

Hose.

There is in the Department at the present time 440(
feet of leather hose, a portion of which is old#and nearl}!
useless. By vote of the Town last April, the Selectmer
were authorized to procure 2000 feet of new hose, whicrj

27

s being made, and will be ready when the new carriage
s completed, making a total of 6400 feet.

Duties of the Department during the Past Year.

\Ve have been called ont 33 times, 19 times to fires
nd alarms in Somervihe ; 6 times to fires in Charles-
own ; 6 times to Cambridge ; 1 to Meclford ; 1 to Brook-
ne. It will be seen that we have had 13 less alarms
ban last year, which is a credit to the town, as the num-
er of fires and alarms in some of our neighboring cities
nd towns have increased.

Our loss has been comparatively small, the largest be-

g that of the Metallic Compression Casting Co., whose
>ss was increased by the hose being cut by a train of
irs on the Fitchburg Railroad. In almost every case the
isurance has more than covered the loss. The labor has
een faithfully performed by the companies, and I think
e can say our Department compares favorably with any

the State.

I would take this opportunity to thank the Board of
Biectrnen generally, the Committee on Fire Department
om the Board, my associates in office, the Members of
le Department, the Police Force, and all others who
ive in any way assisted me in my labors.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

Chief Engineer of Somerville Fire Department.

REPORT ON COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS.

The Claim of Massachusetts General Hospital pending
the writing of the last Annual Report was decided ad-
■rsely to the town by the Supreme Judicial Court, the
x having been decided illegal by that tribunal. A set-
iment however was made in accordance with the vote

28

of the town, by which the town is to refrain from tax
ing the Hospital lands in future, till other use should b<
made of the same, than the present, and the town is no
to be required to refund the money or taxes already paid

The suit of Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett, and that of Mr. B
F. Kichardson, for damages sustained on Broadway, hav<
both been settled by arbitration.

The suit of Mrs. Brooks for damages alleged to hav<
been sustained from a fall in the trench of the wate
works has been twice tried, the jury disagreeing at th-
first trial, and rendering a verdict of $8000 against th
town at the second trial. Exceptions were taken to th-
ruling of the Court, and will be argued during the pre*
ent winter. The defence of this action is assumed b
the Somerville Mystic Water Committee, who hold M]
Campbell, the Contractor, responsible under his agreemen
The suit of Mr. Campbell is still pending, and trial is pos
poned to await the result of the former action.

Miss Ada A. Byrnes has also brought a suit again*
the town for damages alleged to have been sustained i
Union Square at the estate of Hill, Walker, & Co., an
is now pending in the Supreme Judicial Court.

Hugh Mullin has also brought a suit against the tow
for damages alleged to have been sustained from fallin
into the water trench. This suit is defended under th
direction of the Water Committee, who hold Mr. Cam]
bell responsible.

A claim was made against the town by Geo. C. Gaul,
for damages sustained by running into a trench, dug bj
some one on Washington street, without the consent c
knowledge of the Selectmen. The Board found it difi
cult to fix the responsibility upon any one with reason?
ble certainty, and settled the claim by the payment (
one hundred dollars, to avoid a lawsuit. Mention
made of this matter particularly to show the residents <

29

le town, the necessity of obtaining permission before
igging up the streets, that the Superintendent may be
ognizant of the fact, and erect suitable protection for
ublic travel. It must be well-known that the Law for-
ids digging up the street, without permission from the
roper authorities, and imposes severe penalties against
(fenders. It is to be hoped in future no similar offence
ill be committed.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON GAS.

Your Committee respectfully report that new posts have
en erected as near the places petitioned for as the pub-
good would allow. The constantly increasing number
our tax-paying citizens makes the subject of "more
;ht" on our streets — whether accepted or not — more
d more important And for the information of all our
izens, we would state that on the deposit of $30 with
e Selectmen, which sum pays for the post, they will, as
on as possible, cause the same to be set and lighted at
e expense of the town.

The whole number of lamps now lighted is 219, of
rich 26 are lighted with fluid.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

The Selectmen for the last two years, have been con-
futed by vote of the town, a Board of Health. Its
bies have commanded more or less attention, although
s season has not been marked by unusual sickness, and

!!

;

it

B

30

no contagious diseases have prevailed, and the town ma;

well be congratulated on its general sanitary condition.

With a bountiful supply of water and a matured syi

tern of sewerage, now partially complete, an importan

step has been taken towards protecting the inhabitant

against diseases and epidemics. Open drains and staj

nant water are disappearing, and it can safely be pr<

dieted that by perseverance in this direction, a few yeai J

will entirely relieve the town from this .great source (

complaint and cause of sickness. This subject shoul

never for a moment be lost sight of by our citizens.

very great complaint has been made during the pa;

year, from the large number of swine kept and maintaine

in our midst. It may not generally be known to whi

extent this business is carried on, and the causes tin

operate to increase it. Our neighboring cities ha^

enacted ordinances prohibiting the keeping of swir

within their respective limits, and have thus compelk

owners of swine either to change their residence or i

cupy tenements near the town line, and build and f

their pig-pens within the limits of Somerville, subjectir

its inhabitants in their vicinity to much annoyance ar

discomfort. The population of the town is becoming i

dense that stringent measures should be adopted, th

this and kindred sources of complaint may be remove

Suitable by-laws should be adopted at an early day

avert this growing nuisance in our town. The " Swi

boys " deserve a passing notice. Quite a trade is drive

by a large number of boys in the collection of swill, ar

our citizens are beginning to complain of the frequei

and untimely visits from those engaged in this traffill

It is due to our citizens that some measures should t

adopted by which the work of collecting swill and houi

offal should be subject to proper and official regulation

either by requiring license to be granted to a few pekr

ina, by districts, or by the town's taking the entire charo-e
the matter. °

Slaughter-houses, Pork and Lard factories, are questions
■ be considered. When ? where ? and to what extent
e they to exist ? Shall they be erected and maintained
i or near our main thoroughfares, and in the midst of a
owded population ? And are they to be permitted to
apty their filth and offal into the streams of our town
th impunity ? And will the increase of taxable prop-
ty compensate for the many annoyances and unhealthy
luences of such institutions ? Does our town become
y more attractive, wholesome, or desirable, as a place
resort or residence ? The most important avenue, so

as the amount of travel is concerned, to our town
ces the traveller through just such scenes as are here'
scribed. How long shall they continue ? Other mat-
s might properly be dwelt upon. Vaults, sink-drains
gnant water, low lands, accumulated filth, and personal
cleanliness, are all frightful causes of disease, and too
at pains cannot be taken to guard against the accu-
lation of all kind of impurities.

GENERAL REPORT.

'he Reports of the several Standing Committees of the
Jd treat the subjects to which they relate with so
m ability and completeness that little remains to be
in conclusion.

here are, however, some matters of general interest
importance, not included in these Reports, to which
r attention is respectfully invited.

o

2

TOWN STABLE.
The subject of building a town stable on the town land
was brought before the town at the March meeting ; and
that meeting instructed the Selectmen to procure plans,
with estimates of the cost of building a suitable town
stable, and a tenement for the men who have charge of
the horses, and report at the April meeting. I

When the article relating to this subject was reached,
in the April warrant, a motion to indefinitely postpone
the subject prevailed, before the Selectmen had an oppor-
tunity to submit the plans and estimates.

At present the town has nine horses constantly &4
work on its highways. Six of these horses are stabled
in the town barn, and three in a shed adjoining, where
stalls were temporarily fitted up for the summer.

There are about thirty (30) miles of accepted streets
and sixteen (16) miles of non-accepted, in this towr:
Many of these streets are opened to lay gas and water
pipes, and to construct sewers. When the trenches:
opened for these purposes, are filled, it is not often tha
the streets are left firm and solid as before ; thus, a greas
deal of extra labor is required to make repairs on sucl
streets. This adds very much to the general labor upoi
our streets, and makes the necessity for additional team;

more pressing.

A large number of cesspools have been construct*
along the line of the sewers; and all these have to b
cleaned out once a month, and oftener if necessary, din
ing the spring, summer, and autumn.

These cesspools must be kept clear, or the sewers wi
fill, and their efficiency be destroyed.

From the foregoing, it must be evident to all, that th
street force is insufficient to do all the extra work, an
keep the streets in an acceptable condition.

During the past year, quite a number of extra team

33

have been constantly employed on our streets. This
plan must be continued, unless the number of teams is
increased. It is for the town to decide whether addi-
tional teams shall be purchased, or the present system
continued.

I WIDENING STREETS.

The attention of the Selectmen has, at different times,
)een called to the subject of widening streets ; but thus'
:ar no streets have been widened.

In most instances, many of the abutters living along
he lines of such streets have objected to the widening
trough fear that they should be injured in their property
>y the application of the Betterment Law.

The widening of some of the more important streets
^nd thoroughfares cannot much longer be delayed ; for,
I the population becomes more dense, and travel in-
creases, to meet its increasing wants, additional space
must be given.

In all cases, where the public convenience requires the
widening of streets, we would recommend that a liberal
•olicy be pursued toward the abutters along the lines of
uch streets • so as to encourage the widening, while land
3 cheap, and it can be done at a comparatively small
ost to the town.

The advantage of wide streets are so apparent, and
o well understood by the inhabitants, as to need no
fords of commendation from us.

WATERING STREETS,
As the town grows, new wants are manifested. During
le last very hot and dry summer the subject of water-
ig pur streets has been often and earnestly discussed by
lose who live along the lines of the streets most fre-
uented.

3

34

Street material kept moist retains its place much bel-
ter than when it is allowed to become perfectly dry
hardened by moisture and travel, it offers more successful
resistance to the constant wear and tear to which it is
subjected. As its power of resistance is increased, the
cost of repairs is lessened. This being true, is it not foi
the interest of the town to encourage the watering oi
some of our principal streets by contributing a per cent
of the cost ?

KOOMS FOR TOWN OFFICERS.

The inconvenience of having the several departments
of our town government located in different sections oj
the town, so widely separated, is augmented, as the busi
ness of the town increases.

If the New High School Building is erected on the lo
cation now selected, when the present building is vacated
we recommend its removal to a more suitable location
on the town land, near where it now stands ; and tha
its external architecture be modernized, by adding a fe^
modest ornaments, so that the general appearance of thi*
building shall moderately correspond with other building!
erected on this land.

This done, have a suitable " Lock-up," constructed ir
the basement ; and retain the rooms as now divided anc
finished, in the upper part of the building, for the use oj
the Selectmen, Town Clerk, Treasurer, Collector, Schoo
Committee, Somerville Mystic Water Board, Assessors
Overseers of Poor, and Town Surveyor.

The town will then have under one roof, all its rec-
ords, its maps, its valuable papers of every description
which may, with ease and convenience, be consulted as
occasion may require. Thus facilitating in a great degree
the business of the several departments, with compara-
tively a trifling expense ; and deferring for many years
the necessity of building a Town House, or City Hall.

35

APPROPRIATIONS.

The Selectmen have endeavored to keep as nearly
within the Appropriations made as was consistent with a
due regard for the best interests of the town.

When the sum was named for Miscellaneous Account,
in asking for appropriations, no provision was made for
3aying damages awarded by the Committee on Claims.
By referring to their Report, it will be seen that several
3laims have been settled, and the damage charged to
:his account, which is a sort of waste basket, into which
ire thrown all the bills not otherwise provided for ; and
n this case, the appropriation has been largely exceeded.

In all cases where settlements have been made, it
eemed to be so clearly for the interest of the town to
ettle, and save the expense of litigation, that the Board
elt warranted in using from the available funds in the
Treasury of the town, and charge to this account.

INDEXING RECORDS.

During the past year, the Records of the town, and of
he Selectmen, have been indexed ; so that any informa-
ion, relating to any subject, that has become a matter of
ecord, since the incorporation of the town, may be re-
erred to at any time, without delay or inconvenience.

Before this was done, not unfrequently great delay
vas caused by having to look through years of records,
o glean therefrom, some item of information, without
vhich, the business under consideration could not be
ransacted understandingly.

This much needed and very laborious work has been
>erformed by our ever faithful Town Clerk, Chas. E. Gil-
nan, who has spent months of patient labor in perfect-
ng the system.

In future, it is intended that the indexing shall keep

36

pace with the records ; for no records are complete with-
out an index.

STREET BOOK.

A book has been purchased, in which are entered the
names of all the streets ; their length, width, and their
junctions with other streets.

SEWER BOOK.
A book has been purchased, which is to contain a copy
of all contracts for building sewers, their size, cost of con-
struction, assessments, and any other information relat-
ing to the subject that may be deemed of importance.

APPOINTMENT OF COLLECTOR OP TAXES.

A vacancy, in the office of Collector of Taxes, was
made by the death of Benjamin Randall. The duty of
designating his successor devolved upon the Selectmen,
and they appointed Thomas Cunningham to fill the va-
cancy.

In making this appointment the offices of Treasurer
and Collector were united in one man. The question of
uniting these offices has been considered, at some of the
preliminary meetings, held to nominate Town Officers,
before the annual election, and the decisions have been
adverse ; but, when those decisions were made, the be-
lief was quite general that the objection was not so much,
to the offices being united, as it was to that of depriving
an old and highly esteemed resident of an office which
he desired to retain.

The Selectmen thought it would be generally more
satisfactory to the citizens, to place this important trust
in the hands of one who had acceptably served the town
many years, than to take a new and -untried man.

A statement of the account of the late collector with
the town, will be found in the Eeport of the Auditing
Committee.

TOWN LAND.

The purchase of the " Sleeper Land " on Central Hill
may be regarded as one of the important transactions of
the year ; whether it is considered in a pecuniary point
of view, or in its bearings upon the future growth and
prosperity of the town.

This purchase, definitely settled the question of a rec-
ognized Centre. This question being no longer in dis-
pute, plans for the future development of the town may
be made with especial reference to this fact.

The rapid rise in the price of land, throughout the
town, which so quickly followed the consummation of
this purchase, clearly indicates the interest felt by the
inhabitants in this matter, and shows their estimate of
its importance.

The town now has suitable grounds upon which to
rect such public buildings as may be required for town
purposes.

The beautiful monument erected by the citizens to
perpetuate the memory of our "Fallen Heroes," is now
situated in an out of the way place, with unattractive
surroundings, where it is seldom seen, unless it be by
ihose who are personally interested in the departed
whose remains are there deposited. Thus losing to the
young, and the public generally, the valuable lessons of
self-sacrifice, which the true patriot is required to prac-
tice in times of war.

The custom of the age in which we live, forcibly sug-
gests the propriety of placing this monument, at the ear-
iest practicable moment, upon this lot of land, a portion
pf which, has, by its revolutionary reminiscences, been

.

38

fitted and sanctified for its reception. This will add i
new interest to those already clustering around this beau I
tiful spot.

The plot of ground contains sufficient area for all
practical uses, and has some to spare for ornamentation I
and we would respectfully suggest that the town appoin* \
a Committee, composed of gentlemen of taste and leisure I
to consider, and bring forward a plan for laying out thes< j
grounds.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS. I

Building Engine House.

Plans for a new Engine House have been drawn by S I
S. Woodcock of this town, and adopted by the Selectmen j

A contract has been made with K. T. Glidden for it
erection, on the town land, on Central Hill, at a cost o I
fifteen thousand nine hundred dollars.

The work is progressing as fast as circumstances wil
allow ; the foundation has been laid, the walls constructed
the roof covered, and it is expected that the building will
be finished, ready for occupancy, early in the spring.

Alewife Brook Bridge.

At the April town meeting, an appropriation of twenty-
five hundred dollars was made for rebuilding this bridge,
and for widening and grading the street in connection'
with the town of Arlington, according to a plan drawD
by A. F. and N. N. Sargent.

A contract was made with Bernard McCarroll to build,
of granite, an arched bridge forty-three feet in width ;
also to build side-walls against the embankments, cap
them with granite, and set a railing on the cap stones,1
fill and grade the street according to plan, for the sum
of six thousand dollars^ The town of Somerville to payi

39

;wenty-two hundred and eight dollars, as per agreement
with the town of Arlington.

This work has been completed, except setting the rail-
nor, stoning and gravelling the travelled way between
the side- walls. It will be finished this winter, and ac-
cepted when it is made satisfactory to the towns of Ar-
in^ton and Somerville.

Summer Street Extension.

The East end of Summer street has been built by Ber-
nard McCarroll as laid out by the County Commissioners,
it a cost of four thousand seven hundred ninety-four
dollars, (4,794.00,) according to the plan drawn by A. F.
md N. N. Sargent. This portion of the street has been
iccepted by the Selectmen, and opened to public travel.

The West end is now under contract to build at a
cost of four thousand seven hundred ninety-five dollars
^4,795.00.) This portion of the street will, undoubtedly,
be finished during the winter. When it is completed to
the satisfaction of the Selectmen, it will be opened to the
public.

Highland Avenue.

The subject of widening and extending Highland Ave-
nue is in the hands of a Special Committee, and a report,
with plans, will be submitted at the next town meeting,
agreeably to a vote of the town.

Corporate Seal.

The subject of procuring a design for a Corporate Seal
is in the hands of a Special Committee \ and a design will
be submitted to the town, for its consideration, at the
March meeting.

CLOSING REMARKS.

We congratulate the inhabitants of the town upon its
rapid growth in wealth and population ; upon the general
good health that has prevailed in all parts of the town ;
upon its freedom from fires, and upon the promptness and ;
efficiency of its Fire Department ; upon the security of
persons and property, naturally resulting from the in-
fluence of a quiet, industrious, and law abiding people,
and from the united and untiring efforts of an ever watch-
ful Police ; and upon the progress, thus far made, in pub-
lic improvements essential to the present and future pros
perity of the town.

The laying of gas pipes, the introduction of pure water,
the system of sewerage, and the general improvement of
the streets and sidewalks, combined with its beautiful
scenery, its pure and invigorating atmosphere, its fertile
soil, its numerous churches, and its excellent school sys-
tem, are all so many inducements to men desirous of en-
joying such comforts and advantages to select homes in
our beautiful town.

The growth of the town, thus far, has been healthy
and legitimate ; and there is no good reason why it will
not continue, if a judicious system of public improvments
shall be carried out, so as to keep pace with those in
other towns in the vicinity, having the same number of

inhabitants.

the Committee adopt the report submitted by the Superintendent of the public
schools, and present it to their fellow citizens as the Report of this Committee."

42

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.

Gentlemen of the School Committee:

In compliance with your instructions, the following
Annual Keport for the year 1870, is respectfully sub-
mitted.

The year just closing has been one of uninterrupted
prosperity. Nothing has transpired to affect materially
the harmony and efficiency of the schools.

Teachers have prosecuted their work with commenda-
ble zeal and enthusiasm. Pupils, in the various depart-
ments, have made satisfactory advancement in their stud-
ies, and have manifested their accustomed willingness to
submit to all the restraints and requirements essential to
the maintenance of good order, and the successful accom-
plishment of school work.

We can look with complacency upon the results of the
year when we compare them with those of former years.
But we would aim at a still higher degree of excellence.

The limits of this report must necessarily restrict us to
a brief exhibit of the work of the schools, and the labor
requisite to sustain their former reputation, and to render
them still more meritorious.

The wants of the school are ever recurring wants.
The earnest, faithful labors of any one day must be re-
peated with renewed zeal on each succeeding day. Now
as ever, knowledge and culture are the reward of labor.
They come of careful observation, patient reflection, per-
sistent and laborious study. " There is no royal road to
learning." The student of to-day must ascend by the

43
same rugged way that was traversed by scholars of for-

mer ages.

The wisdom of the present develops but little that is
new in principle. But, profiting by the mistakes no less
than by the wisdom of the past, we possess more perfect
systems of instruction, and may be more skilful in the
application of principles long established, and should ex-
hibit a higher type of whatever tends to elevate and im-
prove.

The number of persons in Somerville between the ages
of five and fifteen years, on the first day of May last, as
ascertained by the Assessors, was 2570.

The number of pupils belonging to all the public
schools in January last, was 2465, and at the beginning
of the school year in September last, it was 2739, as fol-
lows :

In the High School, 165 or 6.02 per cent of the whole.

Grammar Schools, 6Q6 or 24.315 per cent of the whole.

" Sub-Gram. Schools, 682 or 24.899 per cent of the whole.

" Primary Schools, 1226 or 44.76 per cent of the whole.

To provide for this increase, four new schools have
been organized within the year, as follows :

In the Prospect Hill School House, .... 1

" Jackson School House, .... 1

" Lincoln School House, ..... 1

Forster School House, .... 1

For the relief of Prospect Hill School, a Hall in its im-
mediate vicinity, well adapted to school purposes, has
been rented and furnished ; and is now occupied by the
Prospect Hill Primary School. This arrangement post-
pones the necessity for the construction of a new school
building in that locality.

At the present time there are 52 Schools. High 1,
Grammar 15, Sub-Grammar 15, Primary 21.

44

Twenty-five per cent of these schools have been organ-
ized within the last three years.

The average annual increase of pupils for the last fif-
teen years, has been 100.

SCHOOL HOUSES.

There are 16 school buildings, containing in all 56
school rooms, as follows :

High School House situated on Highland Avenue contains 1 School-room.

HIGH SCHOOL HOUSE.

At a meeting of the town held on the 12th of Novem-
ber last, the School Committee were authorized to furnish
further High School accommodations by the erection of

46

a new High School Building on such portion of the " town
land " on Highland Avenue, as may be deemed expe-
dient by the School Board and Selectmen in joint con-
vention, at a cost not exceeding $ 60,000.

At their next regular meeting, the Board elected from
their number, the following named gentlemen as a Build-
ing Committee: Samuel A. Carlton, Joshua H. Davis,
John P. Marshall.

At a subsequent meeting, Prof. Marshall declined serv-
ing on the Building Committee, in consequence of con-
templated absence, and Oren S. Knapp, Esq., was chosen
in his place.

In accordance with the instructions of the town, the
Selectmen and School Committee met in convention at
the High School House, Monday evening, December 5th,
and decided to locate the new building on the highest
land next south of the Unitarian Church. The distance
of the north end of the building not to exceed 100 feet,
from the southerly boundary of the church lot.

PROSPECTIVE WANTS.

Prescott School House, with ten school rooms, contains
600 pupils. Within the limits of Prescott District there
are 48 dwelling-houses in process of construction, or just
completed and ready for occupying.

Prescott School cannot be relieved by a transfer of
pupils to Forster School, as was proposed in our last Re-
port, since all the school-rooms but one in Forster School
House are occupied, and more than 30 dwelling-houses
are being constructed in Forster District.

The demand for additional accommodations is impera-
tive. We would therefore recommend the construction
of a wooden building, containing four school-rooms, for
pupils of the primary and sub-grammar grades ; in the
neighborhood of Cross Street, and between Pearl Street
and Broadway.

47

TEACHERS.

The following changes have taken place in the corps
of teachers, within the year.

For a series of years, this school has maintained a high
rank among similar institutions in the Commonwealth.
Its benefits to our community are beyond computation.
Already many of those who have enjoyed its advantages
are occupying prominent positions, and are adorning the
various walks of life.

The high estimation in which it is held by the com-
munity is manifest from its constantly increasing num-
bers, and the liberal appropriations furnished for its main-
tenance, and to increase its facilities.

The influence of a well-regulated High School is not
confined to those only who become members of it ; but,
standing as it does at the head of our Public School Sys-
tem, it reaches out and elevates the various schools in the
lower grades, and extends to every pupil composing them.

Heretofore the opinion has prevailed that our High
School with all its excellencies, was not fully meeting
the demands of the community. The records of the
school show that a large proportion of the pupils who
enter it do not complete the course of study and gradu-
ate. This applies more especially to the boys.

Various causes contribute to this result.

54

Our near proximity to the city, and the inducements
constantly presented for young men and lads to enter upon
some active occupation, induce many of them to leave
prematurely. Some, Laving a fondness for study, and an I
ardent desire to pursue it, are compelled by circumstances
beyond their control to enter early1 upon some remu-
nerative employment. Others, who may possess good
abilities for acquiring knowledge, have not a taste for
study and fondness for books, and are wanting in the
needful application. Consequently the restraints of the |
school, and close and continuous study are exceedingly
irksome to them.

Coercion, in their case, beyond certain limits, may be
regarded as unwise. To compel such pupils to remain
for a long period in the High School, may prove alike in-
jurious to them and detrimental to the school. Society
has a niche for such as these. They may become happy
and useful citizens in the pursuit of employments adapt-
ed to their capacity, and congenial to their inclinations.
Parents, doubtless, act wisely when they yield to their
importunities and furnish them with employment more
in harmony with their desires.

Ifc would give us great pleasure, if all of our pupils
could pursue to the end, the entire course of study pre-
scribed for the school, and avail themselves of all the ad-
vantages furnished by our system of public instruction.
Since, however, this desirable result cannot be obtained,
and all cannot he induced to pursue to its completion one
uniform course of instruction, we deem it wise to mak
such an arrangement of the studies of the school as will
meet the manifest wants of the community, and secure
the highest good of the greatest number. " If the moun-
tain will not come to the Prophet, he must go to it.'
The High School being a public institution, supported by
general taxation, should be adapted as far as practicable
to the public necessities.

55

To meet, as far as possible, the wants of all, and to en-
courage a still larger number of the graduates of the
Grammar Schools to avail themselves of the advantages
of the High School, even though it be for a brief period
only, we introduced at the commencement of the present
school year, an

English and Mercantile Course of Study.

The entire course embraces a period of four years, and
those who complete it, will receive Diplomas. But, with
proper restrictions, the studies of this course will be elec-
tive, and so arranged that those pupils who do not wish
to complete the course, can pursue those branches which
will be of the greatest practical utility to them.

All persons, whatever may be their pursuit in life,
should possess a knowledge of all the branches taught in
the Grammar Schools. Hence the studies of those schools
should not be elective. But there comes a period when
young persons exhibit a preference for some particular
calling or profession, and generally their preferences are in
the direction of their capabilities. These tendencies are
developed earlier in some than in others, but usually they
are manifest when pupils arrive at an age to enter the
High School.

The ancient Philosopher, who was asked what a boy
should learn when young, answered discreetly, we think,
when he replied, " What he will wish to practice when he
becomes a man." Therefore when the pupil enters the
High School, or as soon, certainly, as his tendencies are
manifest, his studies, to a certain extent, should be elec-
tive, and especially adapted to his contemplated profession
or pursuit ; and this adaptation should gradually become
more direct as he approaches the end of his school course.

The pupil who is looking forward to a Bank or Count-
ing-room for employment, and who has only a brief
period to attend school, should devote much of his time

56

to gaining a knowledge of Accounts, and in acquiring
elegant and rapid Penmanship. Another, having a pref-
erence for the Mechanic Arts, will need a practiced eye
and hand, and a thorough knowledge of the particular
department of his choice. Hence, the study of Mechan-
ics, and practise in Mechanical Drawing should absorb
much of his attention. Still another, who is looking to
the ocean for employment, and designs to become a ship- 1
master, will need to be a merchant, as well as navigator.
He, therefore, should devote his energies to securing a
knowledge of Accounts, of Geometry, Logarithms, Trigo-
nometry, and Astronomy.

In a regular classical course, the studies of the first
year or two, are mainly preliminary and preparatory to
those which are to follow. When pupils with the inten-
tions specified, have but a brief period to attend school,
it may be regarded a hardship if they are compelled to
devote a large portion of that limited time to studies
which are only preparatory to those they will never pur-
sue. All this is obviated by our present arrangement.

We cannot refrain from stating in this connection,
however, that it is with caution, and a degree of reluct-
ance we make any innovation upon the regular and uni-
form course of study hitherto pursued in the school.

Such is our appreciation of a thorough and systematic
course of training, and the incalculable benefits accruing
from a careful study, of the Ancient Classics, we cannot
disguise our regrets that the necessity for the introduc-
tion of an English Course seems imperative.

We do not undervalue the Mathematics, the Natural
Sciences, and English Literature. These all have their
appropriate places, and are invaluable. But there is a
grand defect in the education of those, who, from neces-
sity or choice, have failed to enrich their minds from the
fountain of classic learning. Therefore we would say to

57

the young, omit no opportunity to secure a thorough
[knowledge of those ancient languages from which our
fown is so largely derived. The mental discipline conse-
quent upon this acquisition is above price. A large class
of faculties is improved thereby. It strengthens the mem-
pry, comparison, and judgment, quickens the perceptions,
refines the taste, imparts a delicate appreciation of our
jown language, and secures a command of it obtained by
jno other means.

A valuable Microscope has been added to the Appara-
tus of the school, the gift of Edward Everett Edgerly.

Mr. Edgerly graduated with the class of 1863, was the
'second President of the High School Association, and
jever manifested a deep interest in whatever was condu-
cive to the prosperity of the school. He was highly es-
Iteemed in the community, and his early death, which oc-
curred on the 6th day of May last, was much lamented.

The High School Association, as in former years, is
sustaining a course of interesting Free Public Lectures.

GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

These schools are all under the direction of experienced
teachers in whom we have great confidence. The work
accomplished in them cannot fail to be satisfactory to all
who are in any way interested in their welfare. The
Annual Exhibitions in July last, were occasions of more
than ordinary interest. Many of the exercises would
have been creditable to pupils in the High School. The
usual Annual Examination of the first class from each of
the five Grammar Schools, at the close of the summer
term, gave satisfactory evidence of thorough and accurate
instruction.

We cannot over-estimate the importance of any de-

58

partment of the schools. But the Grammar Schools mus
ever hold a prominent place in our regard. They reac'
and affect the masses ; and are emphatically the school
of the people.

SUB-GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

With few exceptions, the Annual Examinations o
these schools realized our expectations, and gratified ou;
wishes concerning them.

There is, however, a marked difference in the advance
ment of the several schools of this grade ; for whicl
there must exist some adequate cause.

We are not inclined to attribute this difference to anj
disparity in the capabilities of the pupils, or to any wan
of effort on the part of either teachers or scholars. Pos
sibly, some teachers discriminate, more wisely than oth \
ers, between what should be thoroughly learned by the
pupils, and what requires only cursory consideration \
All schools, doubtless, are open to the criticism, that much
needless work is done in them. Other things being the
same, the best results, with the least labor, will always be
secured by those teachers who most wisely select, from
the voluminous text-books in the schools, what is really
valuable and important to be studied.

Mental Arithmetic holds an important place among
the studies of the Sub-Grammar Schools. We are not
quite certain that it is always taught in the best manner.
There was a time, within our recollection, when no ex-
planations were required in the schools. Perhaps we
are verging towards the other extreme, and are exacting
too fine analyses from our pupils.

The tendency of the times, in this particular, is well
illustrated in a paragraph of that admirable book, "In
the School-room" by John S. Hart, for several years, Prin-
cipal of the New Jersey State Normal School.

• 59

"A primary teacher asks her class this question : 'If I
an buy 6 marbles with one penny, how many marbles
an I buy with 5 pennies?' A bright boy who should
3romptly answer '30/ would be sharply rebuked. Little
Bight-year old Solon on the next bench has been better
trained than that. With stately and solemn enunciation
le delivers himself of a performance somewhat of this
;ort. ' If I can buy 6 marbles with one penny, how
nany marbles can I buy with 5 pennies ? ' Answer, i I
>an buy 5 times as many marbles with 5 pennies as I
jan buy with one penny. If, therefore, I can buy 6 mar-
ries with one penny, I can buy 5 times as many marbles
ivith 5 pennies ; and five times 6 marbles are 30 marbles.
Therefore, if I can buy 6 marbles with one penny, I can
)uy 30 marbles with 5 pennies.' "

Every teacher in a Sub-Grammar school, who has tried
Ithe experiment knows, that to secure such an analysis
requires weeks of wearisome effort. This question pre-
sents itself: Is it not profitless labor; and a waste of
[valuable time ?

The minds of children in these schools act quickly to
the extent of their comprehension. Plain facts and sim-
ple processes are learned with great facility. We must
patiently wait for the natural development of their rea-
soning faculties. Then they will learn analysis with com-
paratively little study or effort.

In practice we drop at once the analytical and adopt
the direct method, and aim to arrive at correct results
in the shortest way possible. It may be well to acquire
the habit in early childhood.

PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

These schools constitute one of the most interesting
departments in the school system, and are delightful

60

places for labor, to those who have a natural fondue;
for children and an aptness to instruct and manage ther
We receive a favorable report of their condition froi
the Committee whose duty it was to examine ther
Many of them are taught by teachers of long experience
and may justly be regarded as model schools.

The one at Prospect Hill containing 100 pupils undc
the direction of Miss Irene E. Locke, is used as a trainin
school.

Miss Locke's long experience and admirable tact in th
management of children, render her peculiarly adapte*
to such a position.

Several young ladies who have assisted her, and er
joyed the benefit of her experience, are teaching wit
marked success.

DRAWING.

The Legislature at its last session, amended the firs
section of the Thirty-eighth Chapter of the Revised Stat
utes, so as to include Drawing among the branches o
learning which are, by said section, required to be taugh
in the public schools.

It was also enacted — " That any city or town may
and every city and town having more than ten thousanc
inhabitants shall annually make provision for giving free
instruction in Industrial or Mechanical Drawing to per-
sons over fifteen years of age, either in day or evening
schools, under the direction of the School Committee.

The conditions of the first section have been complied
with, and Drawing is taught in all the schools. Instruc-
tion will be furnished in accordance with the second sec-
tion, whenever it is desired.

In the future, an ability to impart instruction in Draw-
ing, will be required of all applicants for situations as
teachers. Teachers already in the schools will doubtless

61

vail themselves of every opportunity to become profi-
ient in this important art.

PENMANSHIP.

To give increased interest to this useful art ; to secure
lore uniform and systematic instruction ; to aid pupils,
ow in the schools, to form correct habits of writing, and
brough the teachers, those pupils also who are to follow
hem, we have employed a special teacher to gi/e a se-
ies of lessons in Penmanship in the High, Grammar, and
Sub-Grammar Schools. By this arrangement, teachers
re furnished with an opportunity to see writing taught
»y one who makes instruction in that art a speciality ;
idio has a thorough system, and rare ability to commu-
dcate a knowledge of it to others.

With the co-operation of the teachers, we anticipate
^reat benefit to the schools from this effort.

I MUSIC.

A new impulse has been given to music in the schools
)y the introduction of Mason's Charts. It is being stud-
ed more as a science. Pupils are acquiring a knowledge
)f its first principles, and are beginning to read it with a
yood degree of facility.

SCHOOL REGULATIONS.

We would respectfully call the attention of teachers to
the Rules of the Committee for the regulation of the
schools. These Rules were printed in the Report for
1868, and a copy of them is in each school-room.

With slight modifications, they have been adopted by
successive Committees for many years. Guided by them
the schools have enjoyed great harmony and success.
Their strict and habitual observance is essential to con-
tinued prosperity ; indispensable to that mutual respect

62

which must ever characterize the intercourse of those
who would labor together harmoniously in a work in-]
volving such vital interests; and needful to secure the
continuance of existing relations.

TRUANCY.

The following By-la ws, concerning truant children, and
absentees from schools, were adopted by the Town, April
28th, 1870.

Sec. 1. The Town of Somerville hereby adopts the

DEDICATION OF THE MORSE GRAMMAR
SCHOOL HOUSE.

This edifice was formally dedicated to the cause of ed-
ucation on the evening of Monday, Feb. 28, 1870.

The exercises were commenced with prayer, by Rev.
Henry H. Barber.

Remarks of Rev. George W. Durell, of the Building Com-
mittee, and delivery of the keys.

It is a just cause for pride and self-congratulation that we behold
on every hand, evidences of our material prosperity as a town.
None know these proofs of our advancement better, none, perhaps,
among all of our citizens who love to contemplate their goodly heri-
tage understand the nature and extent of these evidences of rapid
growth so well as you, yourself, sir.

To show how peaceful and happy the people should one day be-
come, it was said by the Prophet that " The city should be full of boys
and girls playing in the streets thereof." Each year brings to us its
increasing number of boys and girls. To educate and train these for
usefulness and honor, our people give with a liberal hand. Building
after building devoted to this use rises in every quarter of the town,
and sometimes it almost seems that the old law is reversed, and the
supply increases the demand. When we prepare and fill some large,

67

new room to relieve another, presently, it is found that both are more
crowded than the old one was.

Here the demand for ample accommodation had become urgent
and at the annual meeting of the town, in April last, the sum of
$27,000 was appropriated to build a substantial house of brick suited
to our needs. As one living in this vicinity, and on behalf' of mv
neighbors, I thank you, fellow citizens, for this liberal appropriation
Immediately after that meeting, the following were appointed by the
School Board as a Building Committee. Messrs. Enoch R. Morse
George W. Durell, Leonard Arnold, and Samuel A. Carlton I de
sire to state briefly to you, sir, the Chairman of the Board, and through
you to our people, the manner in which we have discharged the dutv
m rusted to us. A large tract of land that will rapidly increase n
value, containing 32,320 feet, was purchased for 7| cents' per foot It
is on the corner of two streets, one of which must be a great leading
thoroughfare of our future city. The cost of this lot was S2,500 The
design for the structure, with the working plans, was obtained from
the accomplished and judicious architect, Mr. Thayer, of Boston

A contract to complete the building according to the designs was
made with Messrs. Barnard & Lancaster, of Boston, and they have
faithfully and honorably fulfilled the terms of their contract

Mr. Thayer has had the general oversight of the work, and Mr Ar-
U nold of our Board, has rendered most important service in superin-
I tending the mode in which the details of the several plans were car-
ned out.

The building consists really of four stories. In the basement which
is above the surface of the ground, convenient rooms are provided
for, and already occupied by the Janitor. Here is also a large, partly
finished room that can be used for school purposes whenever it shall
be needed.

J*£? °f thf tW° St0ries above this> there are two school rooms,
30><35 feet, and more than 12 feet in height, three of these are fur-
nished, and will be occupied to-morrow by their happv and busy youne
laborers. Convenient dressing-rooms are attached to these' main
school-rooms, and the entrances and stairways are remarkable for
their beauty, and the substantial richness of their finish.

The Exhibition Hall, in the upper story, is 34 by 56 feet, and 18
feet in height.

Water and gas are carried through the several apartments, and the
entire building is warmed by two of Chilson's large furnaces

With the exception of the grading, fencing, outhouses, gas and
water fixtures, the cost has not exceeded the sum annr„nri,teH k„

68

The beautiful clock that ornaments the Hall, is the gift of E. R.
Morse, Esq., of the School Board.

This house, beautiful for situation and hardly less beautiful in its
proportions and in its tasteful ornamentation, is worthy of the liberal
spirit, intelligence and growth of our people. It is now complete,
thoroughly furnished, and ready for its high and almost sacred uses.
To your hands I now surrender it, hoping for your approbation of the
mode in which we have discharged our duties. Accept these keys as
the token of the surrender of our office and its cares.

Remarks of Oren S. Knapp, Esq., Chairman of the

School Committee.

In behalf of the School Board I have the honor to represent, allow
me to extend to you their thanks for your services in the erection of
this beautiful edifice.

We have watched its progress day by day, we have seen its walls
in their construction, we saw the heavy beams that stretched their
length from side to side, we looked upon the strong timbers that
braced and held the different parts. Still later we saw the lathing,
plastering, the finish, the paint and final completion of the work, and
are gratified to know that beauty is united with strength, convenience
and durability. You have sought to erect a building that shall be an
ornament to the neighborhood, and that shall bespeak the liberality
and public spirit of its citizens, that shall in all its appointments teach
the lessons of order, arrangement and method. The site you have
selected is one of the most commanding in the vicinity. The view
from either window is one of the most interesting, instructive and fas-
cinating that can possibly be conceived.

The long hillside sloping southward till it reaches the busy street,
the hundreds of church spires pointing heavenward and towering
above the tall shade-trees, the glitter of the water of the armlets of
the sea, as seen in the distance, and still farther on, the wide hill-sides
capped with their mantle of snow, and shutting in a further view, all
conspire to make a scene that for beauty and sublimity is not sur-
passed for miles around. Truly we may say with the King in the
play of Macbeth :

" This castle has a pleasant seat ; the air •

Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
Unto our gentle senses."

Pupils looking from the window of this building will gather mental
^'er from the reflections that must come welling up, suggested from

69

the beautiful landscape spread out before them. Along in the valley
at the south sits old Harvard with its ancient walls, its grand old
trees ; an institution rich with the lore of more than two centuries,
famous in the long line of eminent men that have graduated there,
the pride and glory of our state. To the west, on one of the seven
hills of Somerville, stands in the full vigor of its youth, a most worthy
son of Harvard, Tufts' College. Each of these institutions of learning
are within full view of the pupils attending this school. What youth
can sit here and look upon these classic institutions, and not catch
an inspiration that shall fire his soul, that shall awaken his ambition !
It has long been customary in towns and cities in this vicinity
to name school-houses in honor of some prominent citizen, especi-
ally for one wmo has identified himself in behalf of public schools.
Dr. Bell, Charles Forster, Col. Brastow, Charles S. Lincoln and Clark
Bennett, have each interested themselves largely in behalf of our
schools, and there are school-houses in town bearing their names.
We often hesitate to bestow honors of this class upon individuals
until they are removed from the reach of envy by their removal to
another world. But be it said to our credit that the people of Somer-
ville have shown themselves superior to the suggestions of envy, and
have bestowed these honors upon persons meriting them, and who
may live to know and feel while yet on this mundane sphere that
their services were appreciated. We have one among us who by his
personal industry, by his steady march in the straight and narrow
way, has obtained a name of good report, who is respected and loved
for his generous hospitality, for his urbanity of manner, and for his
many Christian virtues, who has contributed so often, and with such
happy success on many public occasions, to the entertainment and
instruction of the people in pleasing strains of poetry, that he is known
as the bard of Spring Hill. He has interested himself largely in this
school, and in the erection of this building, and we have thought it
best to perpetuate his name, and to suggest to the youth of this neigh-
borhood our approval of his industrious and honorable course of life,
by calling this school the Morse School. We dedicate this beautiful struc-
ture, the Morse Grammar School, to the cause of popular education. We
dedicate it to the use and improvement of the youth of this district.
We place it here as a pledge of our abiding faith in the usefulness of
common school instruction. We offer it to the rising generation as a
token of our interest in their behalf. May it be a power for good. May
it stand forth a bright and shining light in the world of letters. Hav-
ing accepted the keys at the hands of the Building Committee, and
having examined the building, and finding it complete in all its parts,
and admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is desio™^ ,#f

70

becomes my privilege to present them to the teacher under whose
more immediate charge the building and school are to be placed.
Mr. Allen, though an important trust has been committed to us, yet a
far more important and serious trust is put into your keeping. It has
been our duty to cause the erection of a structure composed of mate-
rials that time will efface, that will crumble and wear away, but the
houses you build never fade ; the structures you erect stand forever ;
they outlive all the changes of time. We place under your care and
guidance our dearest interests, our fondest hopes. You will give di-
rection to the thoughts, the aspirations, the character for all coming
time of the youth seeking these walls. See to it that you are equal
to the heavy responsibility that the presentation of these keys imposes
upon you. Our business were but poorly done, and our work would
pass for nothing, did we not select with great care for the instruction
of the children who may assemble here, teachers whose literary quali-
fications are ample, and who can properly communicate their knowl-
edge. A teacher's literary qualifications, important as they are, become
engines for mischief, unless he is controlled and directed by sound
moral and religious principles, and fortified by habits of speech and
habits of manner worthy of imitation. It is but a feeble satisfaction
to parents to know that their children are mental giants, but moral
dwarfs.

Our schools should improve the mind, establish correct moral and
religious principles, cultivate good habits of conversation, and easy
and graceful manners. We speak strongly in this direction, because
we have the fullest assurance that we have elected a principal for
this school who will meet our expectations. May the paths of learn-
ing here, be strewn with flowers. May the course of instruction here
both by precept and example, be such that it shall send forth gradu-
ates strong in mental and moral power, and may God in his goodness
bless and prosper this educational enterprise.

Dedicatory Ode,

Composed for the Occasion, by Mrs. M. P. Lowe, and Sung by

THE SOMERVILLE MUSICAL ASSOCIATION.

Hail to the Sun that is dawning on earth,
Knowledge, directing and cheering our feet !

Hail to the beautiful land of our birth,

Land where the church and the school-house shall meet,

71

Linked in a friendship unchanging and sweet
Naught can molest them nor make them afraid :

So shall we grow up a nation complete,
Love and the Light for our corner-stone laid.

Here shall the rich and the poor be alike,

Here at the gates they together will throng,
Here shall young manhood be ready to strike,

Strike at the cause of oppression and wrong ;

Here shall fair womanhood learn to be strong,
Growing in knowledge and wisdom and grace,

Till all her being shall blossom in song,
Cheering the waste and the desolate place.

Let us surrender these walls to the truth,

Not to the terrors of law and the rod,
Showing the turbulent spirit of youth,

Liberty, won by the children of God :

When we are laying down under the sod,
They shall arise in our places and say,

"Good is the road which our fathers have trod,
Priceless the gift we inherit to-day."

Address by Prof. John P. Marshall.

Upon an occasion like this you will expect me to speak upon some
subject that has a bearing upon education. The time, however, that
properly falls to my share in the exercises of the evening is too brief
to allow of the thorough discussion of any one of the numerous topics
that are full of interest to the friends of our common schools. I shall
attempt to do nothing more than to offer a few suggestions upon the
proper use of methods in teaching.

The importance of conducting the education of the young by cor-
rect methods is self-evident. Without systematic effort, the pupil
wastes time and energy. Hence our legislators enact School Laws.
School Committees frame School Regulations, and teachers devise
methods of imparting instruction, and of maintaining order, all of
which are intended to give greater efficiency to the means provided
by the people for the promotion of general intelligence and virtue.

Since the very existence of our republican institutions depend upon
the education of the people, every ignorant person is to a certain ex-
tent a dangerous element in the community of which he is a member.
It is then of the highest importance that every child should have

74

According to old and long tried methods his course was plain.
He had only to watch for the first signs of an outbreak, and then show
himself master by a grand exhibition of physical force, even though it
might result in serious personal injuries to his pupils. But who does
not know that, under all the outward respect for authority exhibited
by scholars, when thus subdued, the elements of insubordination are
still seething, and an eruption is likely to occur at any favorable op-
portunity ? The first day came to a close without any unusual viola-
tion of good order. At the opening of the school session on the
second day, there were unmistakable signs of a disturbance. After
the reading of the Scriptures, the teacher called the reputed leader to
his desk. He left his seat with a swaggering air, and a gleam of defi-
ance in his eye, which plainly indicated that he was ready and anxious
that the storm might burst at once.

"William," said the teacher in a quiet, confidential undertone,
"Here is a check on the Boylston Bank. I need the money, but can-
not get into the city during bank hours ; are you willing to go and
draw the money for me ? " The boy's eye brightened with pleasant
surprise as he eagerly took the check and prepared to do the errand.
He forgot his purpose of revenging himself upon this teacher for the
numberless floggings that he had received in past years, and with a
new-born impulse, hastened to the city, transacted the business, and
returned promptly with the money. He never after this gave his
teacher a moment of anxiety. His example was contagious, and so
great was the respect of the pupils for the teacher, that corporal pun-
ishment became obsolete in the school.

What caused this sudden change in the boy's behavior ? His self-
respect had been almost instantly restored by this simple act of confi-
dence, and with that came love and respect for his teacher. Then
good resolutions were formed, and his deliverance was complete.
Severe punishment might have created in him respect for the teacher's
animal courage and strength, but could never have restored respect for
himself.

The attempt to govern children by set rules is always a failure.
They must be allowed a certain freedom of action, or they can never
acquire self-control. When there is no higher motive than escape
from the penalty of violated rules, we shall, in vain, expect any high
type of moral excellence. If you would exalt youthful minds, set
before them all that is noble in character, — truth, patience, forgive-
ness, gentleness, firmness, and enthusiasm.

The path of education is strewn with rejected theories and methods
of teaching. It is not, perhaps, too much to say that the greater part

;,

75

of them had their origin in the almost insane desire of book-makers
to crowd our schools with worthless text-books, and gratify their own

love of gain.

One author informs us that children must learn to read by first
acquiring the sounds of the letters before learning their names, and
then be taught to combine them into words. Another, that they
must learn to spell before learning to read ; and still another, that the
words must be learned as pictures before the power of the letters is
taught In spite of these different methods, children learn to read,
but exactly how, must always be a puzzle to the mental philosopher.
The living teacher is, however, indispensable, and the progress of the
pupil is in direct ratio to her gentleness, and patience, and love.

As an illustration of what these can accomplish with older pupils,
I will cite the case of a boy of twelve years of age, who was expelled
from a public school in the city for idleness and truancy. He had
grown rapidly, was large and finely formed, but being slow of compre-
hension, had dragged along with his class without understanding his
lessons.' After a time he was degraded to a lower class, but this did
not remedy the matter. It only served to discourage him, and, ashamed
to recite with children much younger and smaller than himself, he
absented himself from school and spent his time about the streets and

wharves.

After his expulsion from school, he was sent to an academy in the
country. The teacher understanding his case, allowed him to join a
class of boys of his own age, in Natural Philosophy. His schoolmates,
with that quickness of perception that characterizes the young, under-
stood the motives of the teacher, and lent their assistance. Cheered
on all sides, this boy worked faithfully, improved rapidly, and, after
graduating at a New England college, became a successful lawyer.
' To pursue, in our public schools, precisely the course adopted by
:he teacher in the case alluded to, would be impracticable. It was
lot the method of teaching which saved the boy. It was the sympathy
and encouragement of his teacher and fellow pupils.
i. I believe the time is coming when every child, capable of instruc-
laon, will receive in the public schools such education as will fit him
so become an intelligent and respectable citizen. Our schools are
thaking progress in that direction. The fountain from which the

ition draws its life is every year sending forth more healthful waters,
feehave no sympathy with those who decry popular education. Our

Viblic School system is not chargeable with any of the evils that grow
enti in the management of individual schools, through the ambition or

Capacity of the teachers,

We are assembled in another of the beautiful temples of learning,
of which Somerville may justly be proud. The rooms are pleasant,
commodious, well ventilated, well lighted, and well warmed. When
we consider that nearly a fourth part of the lives of our children are
spent in the school-room, every question relating to their welfare here
becomes of vital interest. The material influences that surround them
here determine largely their future well being. But, above all, we
should be careful to select for them teachers distinguished for their
broad views of education, their skill in imparting instruction, their
wisdom in discerning character and motives, their love of the youth
intrusted to their charge, their earnest devotion to duty, and their
respect for truth and religion.

Extracts from Poem, by Enoch R. Morse, Esq.

The bright sun had given bis farewell to-day,
And slowly his beams from the clouds passed away ;
When Night, drew the shadows of evening, and spread
Their folds where the Day-God had pillowed his head.
Then the stars, one by one, all silently came,
And lit their pale fires with a silvery flame ;
And all the sweet voices of Nature were still,
Save the whispering breeze, or the light laughing rill,
Whose waters were dancing, as onward they sped
To the welcoming sea from their rough rocky bed.
And I mused on the task you had set me, to write
The rhymes to be read on this festival night,
When I fell into slumber, still seeking a theme,
And lo ! this fair temple arose in my dream ;
And sweet voices, angel-tongued, floated along,
Its every arch filling with music and song.
Yet louder and higher the joyous notes rang.
And one burden ever the songs that they sang ;
'Twas Beauty, the gem of creation's great plan ;
'Twas Beauty, the first gift of Heaven to man ;
And I thought as the seraph-strains still floated o'er,
"The things that are beautiful live evermore."

And Beauty, bright Beauty, shall be my glad theme ;
And lo ! at the thought I awoke from my dream.
But dreams leave their impress, as ocean's wild wave
Writes its name on the sand ere it sinks in its grave.

11

And true to the mandate, I heard in my dream,
Let Beauty, bright Beauty, still be the glad Theme.
How oft we've seen in silent night's blest shade,
When "nature's sweet restorer" lends its aid,
Some blissful vision, some unclouded joy,
And seen the morning all our hopes destroy \
And waking fondly wished once more to dwell
'Mid those bright scenes that held their mystic spell ;
Then come, O goddess of my dreaming hour,
And guide my song where Beauty holds her power.
This matchless charmer of our mortal years,
Whose smile lights up the vale of human tears,
Can make our lives, too often robed in gloom,
Appear in all the glow of Eden's bloom.
Then Beauty, sing through all her wide domain,
O'er sunny fields, or seas, or starry plain,
On Westland clouds, or 'neath the Orient skies,
Where tropic whirlwind sweeps, or zephyr dies ;
Through time and space, wherever man hath trod,
Or where we see the footsteps of our God.

Creation broke, and Beauty woke

To hail its early dawning ;
The sleeping day to light gave way

When sang the stars of morning.
Like sparkling gems, the diadems

Of night, all brightly shining,
Come breaking through the ether blue,

On silver clouds reclining.
And then their race, through trackless space,

Moved on its course supernal,
And this the song through all their throng,

"Our march shall be eternal.
The hand divine, that made us shine,

Will keep our light from fading ;
On worlds below our beams will glow,

To chase away the shading."
Thus from afar, each glim'ring star,

A hymn to Beauty lending,
Sings through the skies, the echo flies,

Its way to earth descending.

*

78

And now to Eden's fertile fields we turn ;

Its flames that rolled and surged have ceased to burn.

Its waters find once more their native seas,

And new-grown verdure trembles on the breeze,

A thousand sweets from Earth's unnumbered flowers

On unseen wings are wafted thro' its bowers.

Here winding rivers on to ocean run,

And as they flow they sparkle like a sun.

To walk these shades, unseen to mortal eye,

Cherubic convoys leave their native sky.

And here the Queen of Beauty builds her throne,

And 'mid its matchless splendor reigns alone.

And thus in solitude, the new made Earth

Moved on its way, thro' all the years of God ;

Till Life, in myriad numbers came to birth,

And man, the blooming fields of Eden trod.

His voice, who speaks, and systems gem the skies,

Called Adams' dust to leave the slumbering clay :

And lo ! we see a human form arise

To live, and all the works of God survey.

*-Afc *Jfc -if- -ifer <3fc 4U J£- ,11. Jfe

Again, to change the scene our wandering theme

Now leads us back to childhood's happy day,
When Life to us was one long summer-dream

Nor shadow fell across our sunny way.
Our stock in trade, made up of tops and strings,

Possessed a wealth to money-kings unknown ;
Not e'en the honor that this office brings

Can give the joy those early days have shown.
Among the pleasant things of bye-gone years,

The dear old school-house, last but not the least,
In all its former glory yet appears

To be the master-piece in memory's feast.
Unlike to this, it paint nor putty knew ;
Its frame-work rocked with every wind that blew;
Leaves from its " trees of knowledge" were, tho' green,
Like angel's visits, few and far between.

If " as the twig is bent the tree 's inclined,"
Then shape it well while in its tender years ;

Each lifeless limb, lop of, and we shall find
The comely branch on which the fruit appears.

Amid the far-off hills a little brook

Came tripping down o'er rock and shining sand,
Its waters flowed through dell and shady nook,

And made its way to cheer some thirsty land.
Through summer's heat, and winter's icy reign

So swift it moved, it seemed its waters flew •
Its music echoed o'er the distant plain,

Or mingled with the fragrant winds that blew.
On, on, it sped through growing channels deep,

Or winding where the waving meadows lay,
Now dashing down the mountain's craggy steep ; —

And through long ages kept the same wild way.

But hark ! the thunder speaks, the lightning's play,
The gathering clouds, like chariots, seem to fly,

And hastening darkness shrouds the lingering day,

And spreads its terrors o'er the azure sky.
And fast-descending rain now swTeeps along,

And angry winds wail down the mountain-side,
And towering oaks, — those forest giant's strong —

Fall like the chaff, to float adown the tide j
And down they drift until the current stays ; —

Checked on its course the rising river swells,
And o'er the moss-grown bank the water strays,

To wander far through other shades and dells.
And now 'mid deserts wild the little stream

Bears on to solitude unknown before,
Whose barren wastes begin with flowers to teem,

And thirsty cattle graze along its shore.
The lofty pines, whose trembling branches wave

To beat the measures in old Nature's song,
May plant their foot-steps where its waters lave,

As fast to far off seas it glides along.
Thus moved the brook, through storms and cloudless days,

And new creations woke, then passed away.
So let the path of Childhood, like the stream,

Lead on to bless the world, and light will gleam
Through all the night of Life's uneven road,

To guide the soul to Paradise and God.
In that fair realm unfading beauty dwells,

And song seraphic every harp-string swells ;
In dress immortal may our spirits rise,

To walk those fields beneath celestial skies.

Charles S. Lincoln, Thos. Cunningham, Lebbeus Stetson,
Geo. T. Littlefield, and Rev. J. M. Smith.

Poem, composed for the Occasion, by Mrs. S. Knapp.

When Science shall within these walls

Her golden gates unfold —
And Learning's banner, grand and high, ]

Be proudly here unrolled :
Then here an intellectual light,

Will cast its gleams afar,
Chasing the clouds of mental night,

Without one waning star.

May youth, who hither come to taste

The sweets of mystic lore.
And garner treasures richer far

Than gold or silver ore —
Forget not, while they gather gems

To deck the mental part,
To seek that wealth which will adorn

And beautify the heart.

To weave a garland, fair and bright,

Of never fading flowers,
Which ne'er will droop, but sweetly bloom

In the immortal bowers.
Let Wisdom's lilies there appear,

With Truth's blest rose enshrined,
And blossoms, too, of Peace and Love,

With thornless ivy twined.

Then gather priceless riches here,

Treasures which never die,
And oft you '11 bless this hallowed spot,

As future years roll by ;
And when the frosts of wintry age,

Youth's aspirations chill,
Even then, will memory's pencil paint,

The school on fair Spring Hill.

port for 1869 $92,203.27

Expended during the past year, . . . 06,546.50

Total value, . . . . . . $158,749.77

The loans authorized bv the town have been effected
by the issue and disposal of Coupon Bonds, — denomi-
nated " Somerville Water Loan," — as follows :

$20,000, dated April 1, 1870, payable April 1, 1873, interest at

7 per cent per annum.
$40,000 dated Oct. 1, 1870, payable Oct. 1, 1880, interest at

6^ per cent per annum.
$20,000 dated Dec. 31, 1870, payable Jan. 1, 1881, interest at

6tt per cent per annum.

The net cost of maintaining the works the past year
has been $4,589.04, or a tax of about thirty-six and a
half cents on a thousand dollars, town valuation. The
water is now supplied to 994 dwelling houses (occupied
by 1183 families,) 18 stores, 4 meeting-houses, 2 halls,
the Middlesex Bleachery, American Tube Works, Massa-
chusetts Brick Company, Tufts Brick Company, McLean
Asylum, several small manufacturing establishments, and
many of the public buildings belonging to the town.

87

During the past season, the Mystic Water Board of
Charlestown — by legislative authority, — have com-
menced the construction of an additional supply main
through our town, (a 30-inch wrought iron and cement
pipe,) from the reservoir on Walnut Hill; entering the
town near Willow Bridge, and running through Broad-
way, Medford and Pearl streets : to be continued through
Mount Yernon and Perkins streets to Charlestown.

The advantages to this town, consequent upon the
laying of this new main, besides the increase of head
and additional safety against accidents by breaks and
leaks in the immediate sources of supply, will be seen
by the following : —

[An Act in addition to An Act for Supplying the City of
Charlestown with Pure Water; Chapter 216, Section o,
Statutes of 1870.]

The said City of Charlestown shall erect proper Hy-
drants, in number equal to one for every five hundred
feet of such new aqueduct, and in any event to the
number of twenty in the Town of Somerville. along the
line of said new aqueduct, or elsewhere in the pipes con-
necting therewith, as the Water Committee of the Town
of Somerville, and the Selectmen of the Town of Med-
ford shall direct; and said Towns of Somerville and
Medford shall at all times maintain said Hydrants, and
draw water therefrom, without charge therefor, for the ex-
tinguishment of fires, under such regulations as the City
of Charlestown may from time to time establish under au-
thority of this act. And for this purpose there shall be al-
lowed to said Town of Somerville by the said City of
Charlestown, in the settlement for Water for Hydrants
under the contract now existing between said City of

88

Charlestown and Town of Somerville, the sum of
twenty-eight dollars for each Hydrant thus erected in
said town.

The original supply main from the Reservoir on Wal-
nut Hill, (a 24-inch cast-iron pipe,) enters the town near
Fremont Street, crossing Fremont and Brooks streets,
and running through Heath and Temple Streets and
Broadway, to Charlestown.

In conclusion, the Committee would cheerfully bear
testimony to the many words of encouragement they
have ever received from their fellow townsmen, on all
matters connected with the work under their charge;
and would express their obligations to all those, through
whom the operations of the past year have been brought
to a successful termination.

REPORT

OF THE

OVERSEERS OF THE POOR

We read in the good Book, that the " poor ye have
always with you/' and this has been the experience of the
Board of Overseers of the Poor of Somerville ever since
the town was incorporated in March, 1842. One of the
Board that year and for several years since, has served
on the Board. The first year we found only one in the
limits of Somerville who had a settlement in the new in-
corporated town. This was James Gedde, whose brain was
injured a few years previous by the bursting of a gun, which
caused him to become an imbecile. After inquiring for
his whereabouts, we found him in East Cambridge jail,
confined with eight or ten others of about the same ca-
pacity, and condition, in one room, which we thought not
to be a suitable place for such an inoffensive person as he
seemed to be. The reason of his confinement there, seem-
ed to be that he had strolled away from the Charlestown
Almshouse. We soon had him removed to the McLean
Asylum, and from thence to the Brattleboro', Vt., Institu-
tion for the Insane, where he was taken good care of,
boarded and clothed for over twenty years, at $100 per
annum, and where he died about three years since. Since
that time the average number who have been wholly
supported has not been more than two or three. During
the past year, pretty much the same course has been pur-
sued with those needing a partial support, as heretofore.
It seemed to be the public opinion, and the opinion of
citizens, generally, that widows with small families, and

90

there are many of them in this town, who were temper-
ate, industrious, and striving hard to make a living and
educate and keep their children together, should be as-
sisted, especially during the winter season, with fuel, some
clothing, and partially supplied with provision ; but not
with many delicacies, if in good health. If we have found
any selling or using intoxicating drinks, we have utterly
refused any assistance whatever. This system, or proce-
dure has been found to work advantageously in many in-
stances. One may be mentioned in particular. Over
twenty years since a young woman came from the " old
country," — lived in a family for a few years — then mar-
ried an industrious young man, and after having three
sons and three daughters born to them, he was unfortu-
nate by having his eyesight nearly destroyed from a
blast of powder, and soon after by breaking a leg which
soon caused his death. The widow has since been very
prudent, working out by the day, and by some little
assistance from the town, such as fuel in the winter, a lit-
tle cotton cloth, and a few dollars' worth of provision, she
has been able to educate and bring up her children re-
spectably, so that now and for a few years past, they have
supported themselves. Three of them working out have
good places, where they are well paid and much needed,
and are laying up money to invest in real estate, or to
commence business with for themselves.

One of our Board having served as Overseer of the
Poor in a neighboring town where there was an Alms-
house, he is aware that it was less trouble and work for
the Board than in this town, where there is no provision
of the kind made ; but still we do not recommend the
erection of any thing of that kind in this town at pres-
ent, as we believe that it would be more expense than it
is now. Not long since, one of a Board of Overseers of
Poor, where they had a farm and Almshouse, said
" That it would be less expense to support their inmates

91

j at the Revere House in Boston, than at their poor estab-
i lishment, as they did."

i In regard to the expenditures, your Board have en-
[ deavored to comply with the liberal sentiments of the
j citizens of the town, and, at the same time, avoid an inju-
| clicious liberality. We believe it to be the wish of our
citizens that none anion gst us should suffer from cold or
hunger, and although there may be now and then a per-
son, who — in a great measure, from his thriftless habits
— is himself to blame for his destitute condition, we feel
more like giving the hand of pity and encouragement,
than of punishment and reproach.

" Ill-clad and ill-fed and o'er-burdened with care
Oh, turn not away with a look so repelling —
Thy kindness may save them perhaps from despair."

We have, therefore, somewhat exceeded our Appropria-
tion. This was understood and expected at the com-
mencement, owing to our rapidly increasing popula-
tion ; many of them being of the laboring classes, who
are sometimes compelled to call for temporary relief dur-
ing the severest part of the winter ; and also the pay-
ment of a bill to the Lunatic Asylum, Worcester, which
ought to have been charged to last year's account. De-
duct this bill, and the several sums charged to the State,
Cities, and Towns, and the excess will be a mere trifle.
In thus rendering an account of our Stewardship, we
would say that we have endeavored to do our duty faith-
fully. Doubtless there may have been some impositions
practised upon the Board, but they must have been ^ery
few, as we have no knowledge of the fact. "It were bet-
ter that ninety-nine guilty went unpunished than one in-
nocent person suffer."

REPORT

OF THE

FINANCE COMMITTEE.

The Annual Report of the Finance Committee, is here-
with respectfully submitted.

The town debt Jan. 1, 1870, was ... $307,282.44

Which was decreased during the past year by the

payment of a matured note, . . . 20,933.44

286,349.00

And increased by new loans during the year, . 164,500.00

Making the present town debt, .... 8450,849.00

Which will become due as follows : —

In 1872, .... $128,495.00

1873, . .. . 20,000.00

1874, .... 62,000.00

1879, .... 49,854.00

1880, .... 116,500.00

1881, . . . . 28,000.00
1884, 46,000.00

$450,849.00

In their Report for 1868, this Committee recommended
that the offices of Town Treasurer and Collector of Taxes
be filled by one and the same person. On the decease of
the late Collector of Taxes, the Selectmen appointed the

j
j

J

93

Treasurer to be Collector of Taxes; and it is hoped that
the union of fthe two offices,— thus commenced,— will for
many good reasons which might be given, be continued
by the town: prominent at this time among the reasons,
it may be stated, is an annual saving in Interest account',
by the tax collections being placed immediately in the
Treasury, without first doing duty elsewhere.

No part of the Town Debt will become due during the
year 1871; but it is recommended that the Treasurer
with the approval of this Committee, be authorized to
issue Bonds, to meet such part of the debt, due in 1872,
as will become payable before the annual appropriation
meeting for the year.

Respectfully Submitted,

REPORT OF THE TREASURER.

In presenting the following statement of accounts of
this department I would say, that after a consultation
with the different Boards of Town Officers, I came to
the conclusion to so consolidate my report, as to give all
the general detail necessary, and still make them full
and complete. In this I have followed the course of
nearly all our neighboring towns. As our town in-
creases in population, the enumeration of small pay-
ments in detail and repetition, causes large expense in
printing. In the following statement I have been gov-
erned by dictates of economy, and hope that the citizens
may approve the same.

THOS. CUNNINGHAM, Treasurer.

REPORT OF THE COLLECTOR.

On the first of October 1870, the Office of Collector
of Taxes became vacant, by the death of Benjamin
Randall, and it devolved upon the Selectmen, by the
laws, to fill that office by appointment, and their choice
fell upon me. Having accepted the same, the citizens
will pardon a few remarks in connection therewith. The
Office of Collector of Taxes, when the incumbent per-
forms the duties as required by the Laws and Instructions,
does not generally increase his popularity, but all good

t

d

95

citizens will agree that he should perform his duties with
promptness, and without prejudice or partiality. With
these views, I accepted the position, and have endeavored
to perform the duties. The large growth of our town
must necessarily change the former manner of conduct-
ing the business of this office. The Collector who ex-
pects to keep correct accounts with 3,000 Tax Payers,
must do his business in the office where his books are
kept, for his own security, as well as for those who pay
Taxes. I have found it my only security, and hope that
all our citizens, under the light of past experience, will
see the wisdom of such a change. In the matter of
collecting Poll and Small Property Taxes, a radical
Jhange is necessary. There is now on the Tax Lists of
the last three years, at least 1800 Unpaid Taxes of this
lescription. It is no hardship for a poor man to pay
;wo or three dollars in the warm season, when labor is
plenty, but it may become so, in the fall and winter
nonths. In my short experience in the office, I find a
'ery general expression among the Tax Payers, that the
own should allow a discount on Taxes paid on or before
Sept. 20, and that interest should be charged on all not
>aid on the 20th of October, interest to date from the
!0th of September, thereby fixing the interest clause
efimtely as to time. The Tax account herewith gives
ie amount collected.

EEPOETS

OF THE

TOWN" OFFICERS

OF

SOMERVILLE,

FOR THE YEAR 1871.

BOSTON:
ALFRED MUDGE & SON, PRINTERS, 34 SCHOOL STREET.

18 72.

EEPOET

OF THE

SELECTMEN

In" submitting this, the last Annual Report of the
Town of Somerville, for the consideration of its citi-
zens, the selectmen desire to present all subjects of
interest or importance in such a manner as will ena-
ble the legal voters to clearly understand the true
condition in which its business is handed over to the
city government.

The board is organized by the appointment of
standing committees, to each of which special duties
are assigned, on which they have reported to the
board in the order in which they are named; and
their several reports have been adopted as a part of
the report of the selectmen.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON HIGHWAYS.

An increased interest in the matter of highways
has been manifested the past year, and a large amount
of work performed.

A marked improvement in the condition of our
streets is plainly discernible, and it is of the highest
importance that the utmost vigilance should be used
not only to maintain, but to improve, upon thei7
present condition.

STREETS ACCEPTED.

The following streets have been accepted during
the year.

Arlington Street.
Aldersey Street.
Brook Street.
Dane Street.
Jenny Lind Avenue.

An order has been received from the county com-
missioners authorizing the town to cross the Fitch-
burg Railroad with Dane street at grade.

streets laid out under the betterment law.
Highland Avenue, its extension and widening.

"Willow Avenue.

Prescott Street.
Putnam Street.
Box aire Street.
Rush Street.

All of the above streets have been legally laid out,
and plans of the same made indicating the bounda-
ries of the land taken, also the grade at which the
streets are to be finished.

The building of Highland avenue extension has
been contracted to Messrs. Scanlon & Trenholm, for
the sum. of seventeen thousand three hundred and
;wenty-five dollars, and the work is nearly completed.
"n laying out this avenue, a uniform grade has been
adopted, making it much easier for public travel, and
less likely to be injured by the wash, when there are
sudden showers, thaws, or heavy rains. The expense
of building a sewer and laying gas and water pipes
will be much less, the excavations being uniform, and
only so deep as is required for their security. The
street is now all graded ready to set edgestones,
when the abutters require them, so that in future
years there will be no. damage to be paid for a change
of grade. Grade damages are much less when land
is worth one thousand dollars an acre, than they will be
when it is worth ten times as much, if by reason of a
change of grade the abutters are damaged. For
favoring the laying oat of this avenue, we have been
subjected to the unfavorable criticism of many of our
citizens; but time, the disposer of all things, we are
well satisfied, will convince the most captious that no

6

improvement has been made that promises greater
pecuniary advantage to our town.

The existence of large clay beds in the soil of
Somerville has induced brickmakers to dig up the
surface of some of the finest lands in the town, and
after using the clay in the manufacture of brick,
which are drawn to market over our streets to their
great injury, these lands are left in a shapeless and un-
inviting condition, paying but a small tax compared
with what they would have paid had they remained
in their natural condition. An acre of land with a
bed of clay averaging eight feet deep over its entire
surface, is valued at six thousand dollars for making
brick. By laying this avenue through clay lands
suitable for building first class residences, these lands
are made worth eight to ten thousand dollars an acre.
Under these circumstances, may we not reasonably
expect to see these lands sold for building purposes,
and first-class dwellings erected thereon, and those
dwellings occupied by tax payers, that will lessen
rather than increase the burdens of taxation ? At the
same time we may save much in the wear and tear or
our street.

The enhanced value of land bordering on this avenue
will at the present rate of taxation more than pay
the interest on the cost of construction, and after one
year more will fast reduce the principal, so that this
investment will all soon be returned to the town
treasury, and ever afterwards be a source of income
to the town. It was the intention of the selectmen
to have widened the avenue; but this work could not

be done during the summer without great injury to
the trees, and shubbery, which must necessarily be
removed ; and during the fall the press of business to
finish up what work we had already begun was so
great as to prevent our engaging in this work.

"Willow -avenue is laid out in a straight line fifty
feet wide from Elm street to Broadway. It has been
constructed and accepted by the selectmen from Elm
to the northerly side of Appleton street, at a cost of
four thousand seven hundred and forty-seven dol-
lars.

It is important that the portion of this avenue,
lying between Appleton street and Broadway, should
be completed this year, so that the assessments may
be made upon the abutters within the time limited by
law.

A contract has been made with Charles A. Mon-
gan to grade Putnam and Prescott streets, and the
grading of Putnam street is partially completed. A
communication has been received from the contrac-
tor and placed on file, stating his inability to fulfil
the contract, and asking to be relieved of grading
Prescott street.

The work of grading Push street has been begun;
but owing to the lateness of the season it could not
be finished without incurring unnecessary expense.

The town appropriated eleven thousand dollars to
defray the expense of removing the Somerville Horse
Railroad track into the centre of the street, from
Union square to Cherry street. We were instructed
by the town to pay nine thousand dollars of this

9

amount to the railroad company when the work of
laying the track was completed. The cost of grading
Milkand Elm streets, on the sides of the track, was
twelve thousand fifty-two dollars and seventy-five
cents, all but eighteen hundred eighteen dollars and
twenty-five cents of which has been charged to high-
way appropriations. This work was commenced on
the ninth day of May, and was completed on the
tenth day of August, during which time all the town
teams, with one exception, were employed on this
work, together with all the extra teams that could be
hired at current prices. This work proving more
formidable than was anticipated, has prevented the
grading of other streets as was contemplated in the

spring.

Extensive repairs have been made on Elm street,
at its junction with Holland street. The construc-
tion of the Lexington Branch Railroad at a grade
above that of Elm street, precipitated this work,
which might otherwise have been omitted. A part
of the expense of this work has been borne by the
railroad, as will appear by reference to the report of
the committee on railways. Repairs have been
made on Broadway from Charlestown line to Cross
street, with crushed stone, in order to test the relative
value of this material for making repairs on our
principal streets as compared with that of ledge-
stone. The comparison, in the judgment of your
committee, is decidedly in favor of crushed stone.

10

EDGESTONES.

The number of feet of edgestone set during the
year is eight thousand nine hundred and ninety-three
at a cost of five thousand eight hundred ten dollars
and eighty-one cents. A much greater interest has
been manifested during the year in this department !
than ever before, showing that the people are begin-
ning more fully to appreciate the advantage of having
edgestones set in front of their estates. Many of
our streets where edgestones have to be set are con-
structed, and accepted with a surface grade which
has to be made uniform before the stones are set;
this change of grade is not unfrequently attended
with greater expense to the town, than the setting,
and is charged to the highway appropriation.

MEDFORD STREET BRIDGE.

The town appropriated five thousand dollars for
building Medford street bridge, and to grade the
street out to its full width. Estimates were obtained
and the contract awarded to Franklin Meade for the
sum of twenty-two hundred dollars. Upon remov-
ing the timbers of the old bridge the abutment walls
were ascertained to be insecure and unfit to build
upon. An agreement was made with the contractor
to take down and rebuild the same, for the sum of
three hundred and seventy-five dollars.- The bridge
has been completed, and accepted by the selectmen
and the town teams are now at work grading its ap-
proaches and the street out to its full width.

11

TOWN STABLES.

A town stable and hay barn separated by a brick
wall and fire-proof door has been built on the south-
west corner of the town land, situated on Broadway
and Cedar street, in which stalls for twenty horses
have been made. Attached to the hay barn is a shed
one hundred feet long of sufficient capacity to ac-
commodate the town with storage room for all the
carts, sleds and other tools used in the construction
of streets. Also, a neat and convenient double tene-
ment for the use of the men who have charge of the
stable and teams.

The land set apart for yard room has been enclosed
with a high board fence. The contract for building
was awarded to W. J. Vickery, for the sum of nine
thousand two hundred and ninety-five dollars. The
building of a fence, alterations and other addi-
tional work, not provided for by the specifications,
was performed by the contractor at a cost of fourteen
hundred forty-eight dollars and fifty-eight cents.

The town has three ledges in working order; one
near the junction of Broadway and Holland street,
one on Milk street near its junction with Elm street,
and one on Bond street, Winter Hill.

It will be seen that the stable is located near the
centre of a triangle, the angles of which are located
at the different ledges. By extending Vernon street
(so called) to Cedar street, these buildings will, when
this street is finished, abut on a street leading from
Central to Cedar street. Another street has been

12

laid out and formed from Summer street to Highland
avenue, which is to cross the Lowell Railroad a few
feet east of these buildings, and go in a straight line
to Broadway. By the foregoing explanation, it will
readily be seen that when these streets are opened
the teams can go direct from the stable to the ledge
nearest the work on which they are engaged. Land
is rapidly increasing in value, and if at any future
time the city should wish to dispose of this land for
building purposes, the stable as it is now located will
not injure the sale of this property.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SEWERS.

Town of Somerville,

">

Board of Selectmen", Dec. 29, 1871.

The efforts made by the selectmen during the past
four years to inaugurate a system of sewerage gives
promise of many gratifying results. The magnitude
of the work, beset with a variety of difficulties, not
at first fully comprehended or appreciated; the want
of a thorough acquaintance with, and knowledge of,

13

many important elements necessary to make its appli-
cation meet the growing demands of the place and the
hour; the unprepared condition of the public mind
fully to welcome and encourage an improvement of
this kind, as well as the increase of public burdens it
threatens to impose, — all conspire to make this branch
of our official duties one of great delicacy and per-
plexity, and yet one whose responsibilities must be
assumed and borne, however arduous or unpalatable.

The work to be accomplished must of necessity be
slow, or so graduated as not to draw too heavily from
the public treasury ; at the same time be so conducted
and distributed to meet the incoming demands as to
equalize its benefits and still provide for more urgent
emergencies as they may arise.

The great difficulties in determining on a plan or
system of sewerage in this town are in the location
and construction of the trunks or outlets; involving,
as they do, a large outlay at the expense of the town,
with only a small proportion to be returned in the
form of assessments, no small care or pains should be
bestowed in the steps first taken.

In the report of 1870, certain routes were indicated
as the result of a careful investigation, by the engineer
employed; not, indeed, as irrevocably fixing them as
the only feasible lines, but as those which seemed most
obvious at this stage of inquiry. And the purpose of
the report was as much to invite friendly and candid
inquiry and reflection among our fellow-citizens, as to
give our own views in respect to the matter. It is a
subject in regard to which there may be a diversity of

u

opinion, and upon which most people of observation,
however limited, may have something to say or advice
to give; all such inquiries when candidly and intelli-
gently made cannot but be productive of good.

There have been no trunk sewers or outlets con-
structed during the past season. Several causes
conduce to this. The contemplated trunk in Milk
street has been postponed to await the action of the
county commissioners on the long pending petition
to widen this street. It is obvious that the widening
of this street and the possible change of grade would
somewhat vary the location of .the proposed sewer.

The agitation of the nuisance question in regard
to Miller's creek and the slaughter-houses bordering
thereon, is likely to result in the adoption of some
plan by the joint action of the city of Cambridge
and Somerville, for the construction of a sewer
running nearly parallel to Milk street, and for filling
up the adjoining flats. A petition to the legislature
has already been published, praying for an act which
will clothe the two municipalities with sufficient power
to forever remove this great nuisance and cause of
complaint from our midst. People unacquainted with
the law as it has existed, and the inadequacy of the
power it confers on municipal officers to handle and
dispose of an affair of this magnitude, will not readily
see how little can be done.

The proposed outlet for the accommodation of the
"Washington street district, East of the Lowell rail-
road, has been necessarily postponed, although it had
been adjudged a necessity by the selectmen. The

15

construction of the trunk sewer required the taking
of and passing through private lands. A strong
remonstrance sprang up among the abutters and
owners, and much delay was occasioned by the
hearings and objections made. These outlets are
both important, and the urgent demands for their
completion deserves immediate attention. Other
outlets will be required if the wants of the other
sections of the town are to be regarded. The north-
westerly portion of the town adjacent to Cambridge,
is yet to be provided for. Two methods are presented
for consideration; one by an arrangement with the
city of Cambridge to use their trunk sewer in Xorth
avenue, the other by an independent route wholly in
Somerville, entering Alewives' brook near Cambridge
almshouse. The report of the engineer on the sub-
ject is very full, and has been placed on file for
future reference.

The following sewers have been built during the
past season: —

1. In Bolton from Houghton to Oak st. ,

2. In Summer and Bow streets, from

School street to Union square

3 . In Putnam street ....

4. In Prescott street ....

Total assessments,

Several other sewers have been called for, but from
the want of a suitable outlet, and other causes, they
have necessarily been deferred. As nearly or quite
all of these applications have been referred to the
favorable consideration of the incoming city govern-
ment and are to be spoken of in another place, they
hardly need be mentioned here.

The method of assessment is substantially the same
as that adopted last year, and it has been the effort
and desire of the committee to apportion this tax
according to the benefit received, having regard to

the aim of the Board to make the assessment as uni-
form as the circumstances of the case would permit.

There have been less applications for abatements
this year than heretofore, and it is quite generally
acknowledged that sewers are a public necessity, and
a general readiness is evinced to share the burdens
they impose.

There have been few cases of appeal from the ac-
tion of the board for a jury. The case of Arthur
"W". Tufts, was referred to arbitration and has been
adjusted. The cases of the Stearns heirs on their
application for a jury to revise the assessment on
Mystic avenue, are still pending. In neither of these
cases are the parties residents of the town.

In closing our report, we are impelled to congratu-
late our fellow-citizens that this great branch of
public improvement has been so liberally encouraged,
and that the opposition to its progress has become so
inconsiderable; and we still heartly commend this
subject to the favorable consideration of our succes-.
sors in office and of the inhabitants of the town.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RAILWAYS AND BRIDGES.

The consideration of the subject of reconstructing
that portion of the Somerville Horse Railroad Com-
pany's track lying between Union square and Elm
street, and placing the same in the centre of the
street, occupied the first attention of the committee.

Before the above work could be commenced, a
petition was presented to the board, praying that the
reconstruction of said track might be extended from
Milk street on Elm to Cherry street.

Action having been taken on the petition, it was
referred to the committee, who proceeded to make
arrangements with the railway company to lay a
track in the centre of the street from Union square
on Milk street to Elm, and thence on Elm to Cherry
street.

The sum paid by the town to the railroad company
toward this work was nine thousand dollars, and the
committee feel that a more judicious expenditure for
the interests of the town could not have been made.

The committee anticipated the widening of the
bridge on Washington street over the Fitchburg
Railroad early last spring; but circumstances beyond
the control of the committee prevented the accom-
plishment of the work as proposed, and the bridge
was rebuilt upon the old plan and abutments.

The committee consider that it is a matter of re-
gret that the plan as arranged last spring should not
have been carried out.

19

Dane street, having been laid out as a highway
across the Fitchburg railroad, is an important im-
provement, one which will be much appreciated,
especially as it is now protected by a flagman placed
there by the company.

The committee feel that the bridge over the water
course at the above crossing should be rebuilt, so
that the full width of the street at this crossing can
be used, and they recommend early attention to this
matter.

Efforts have several times been made to have
Clark street protected by a flagman, or otherwise, as
we consider it a dangerous crossing; but nothing has
been accomplished yet.

In accordance with arrangements made by the
committee with the Boston and Lowell Railroad
Company, the rebuilding and widening of the Cedar-
street bridge above their road has been commenced,
and it is expected that it will be completed early in
the spring.

The building of the Arlington Branch Railroad
across Elm and Holland streets necessarily hastened
the grading of the square at the junction of said
streets, and the railroad company having contributed
a liberal amount towards the work it has been com-
pleted and the result is a great improvement in that
locality. The committee presented to the railroad
company the fact of the selectmen having purchased
the small lot of land lying between Holland and Elm
streets and in front of the depot now being built,
and suggested that it seemed to us to be a case of

20

mutual benefit between the town and the railroad
company, that said lot of land should be made a part
of the highway, as otherwise it might become a nui-
sance. The company took this yiew of the case, and
have agreed to pay half the expense paid for said
land by the selectmen.

The new depot now being erected at this point is
50 X 20 feet, and is nearly complete.

The sum agreed upon for the railroad company to
pay the town is as follows, viz. : —

324 yards of Macadam, at $1.50 per yard . . $486 00

Three cesspools, at $50 150 00

Twenty-five yards of excavating, at- 30 cents . 7 50
And one-half of the amount paid for lot of land be-
fore referred to, $389.50 . . . . 194 75

$838 25

The subject of removing a portion of the Medford
and Charlestown Horse Railway Company's track
situated on Main street adjoining Broadway, has not
yet been accomplished. The railroad company hav-
ing brought a bill in equity to enjoin the selectmen
from removing their track on Broadway, this impor-
tant matter has necessarily been subject to the law's
delay.

We will state the case as briefly as possible, that
all may understand.

In September, 1869, the selectmen voted to set
edgestones on Main street, against the estate of Mr.
E. C. By am, and on the second of October following,

21

the company were requested to remove their track, so
that the same should not interfere with the sidewalk;
the president of the company requested a delay, until
the following spring, promising a compliance with
the order of the selectmen ; but failing to do so, the
selectmen, on the second day of April, 1870, again
voted, that the company be requested to remove their
track on Main street, and a special committee was at
the same time appointed to carry out the vote.

Several interviews were held with the officers ot
the company, who claimed that their road was leased
to the Middlesex Horse Railroad Company, and that
really they had no control over the matter; but that
their lessees stood in their place, and were bound to
assume their obligations in law, and to carry out the
orders of the selectmen.

On conferring with the officers of the Middlesex
Horse Railroad Company, it was found that very dif-
ferent views were entertained by that company, and
it then became apparent, that whatever action was
taken must be under the statutes of the common-
wealth; therefore, on June 4th, 1870, an order was
passed in accordance with the provisions of the
statutes, giving notice to all parties interested that
a hearing would be had on a petition to alter the
location of the track on the 22d day of June, another
on the 29th of July, and again on the 20th of August,
and on the last date the selectmen passed an order
requiring the track to be taken up and placed in the
middle of the street on or before October 1st, 1870.
The track not having been removed on the eighth

22

day of October, the superintendent of streets was
instructed by a majority of the selectmen to remove
the track unless the company should commence be-
fore the following Thursday to take it up themselves.
Before the time arrived to carry out the instructions
of the selectmen, the Medford and Charlestown Rail-
road Company brought a bill in October, 1870, to
restrain the officers of the town from taking up their
track, and a temporary injunction was granted in Octo-
ber, 1870, and after a full hearing in November, the in-
junction was confirmed; insufficiency of the terms of
the order was the ground taken, — Mr. Lincoln, legal
adviser of the board, being absent at the time, the
order was drawn by other counsel.

The action of the parties necessitated the com-
mencement anew of further proceedings, and legal
notices were accordingly given November 26th,
1870, — this being as soon as practicable after the
decision of the court, — that a hearing would be
given in accordance with the statutes, on the petition
of Samuel A. Carlton and others, for the alteration
of the track on Main street; and on the 21st day of
January, 1871, the selectmen ordered the track
placed in the middle of the street. This order not
having been complied with on the 5th day of June
last, the location of the Medford and Charlestown
Railroad, on Main street, was revoked.

Before the expiration of the thirty days within
which the company were bound by law to remove
their track, the Medford and Charlestown Railroad
applied again to the supreme judicial court for an

23

injunction restraining further action of the selectmen
until the questions of law involved in the case might
be determined by the fall bench of that court —
where the case is now pending, — and will be heard in
January, at Boston, which is the first term for Mid-
dlesex cases since the bill in equity was drawn. No
unnecessary delay has been allowed in our efforts
to bring this matter to a close at the earliest possible
time.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON POLICE.

In" submitting our annual report on the condition
of the police department, it gives us great pleasure to
assure our fellow-citizens that the officers and men
have, individually and collectively, been prompt, faith-
ful, and efficient in the performance of their several
duties; that Somerville has a police force second to
no one in its vicinity.

The resignation of H. B. Runey as captain of
police made a vacancy, which was filled by the ap-
pointment of M. C. Parkhurst. This gentleman
served in the army during the war. He went out as
corporal in a Somerville company, and returned as
first lieutenant, commanding a Springfield company.
Taught by his military experience the necessity of a

24

cheerful and prompt obedience to the orders of supe-
rior officers, and of having thorough discipline in the
ranks, tempered with firmness, moderation, and kind-
ness, he was deemed a suitable person for the posi-
tion, and was appointed by a unanimous vote.

The town is still divided into seven police districts
as before. The officers of the force consist of a chief,
captain, first and second lieutenant and clerk. There
are under pay one captain, eight night watchmen,
and four day policemen. These last ought to have
their pay increased.

Soon after the re-organization, rules and regula-
tions for the government of the department were
prepared by the committee and adopted by the
board; for up to this time, the police force had
practically no rules and regulations for its govern-
ment. It was, to a very great extent, the creature
of circumstances, subject to such temporary orders
as were suggested by any emergency that should
arise.

In these rules and regulations the necessary qual-
ifications for appointment as a police officer are de-
fined with considerable exactness; also, the duties
of both officers and men, the manner in which those
duties are to be performed, and the general deport-
ment of all its members while on duty towards the
citizens and those composing this body.

In making appointments, time has been taken to
carefully investigate the claims and character of ap-
plicants; and as there have usually been several for
each opening, the police committee has had an oppor-

25

tunity to select good men, and, at the same time,
make a great many enemies among disappointed
applicants a*nd their friends.

Regardless of personal considerations, the mem-
bers of this committee, and the selectmen, have tried
to so discharge their duties as to promote the public-
good.

Perfection is rarely attained in this life, and with
all the time and labor expended in trying to perfect
this department of the town government, by those
who have had it in charge, it is undoubtedly suscep-
tible of further improvement. At the same time, it
gives us great pleasure to commend this department
to the favorable consideration of the Xew City Gov-
ernment.

In looking over the duties performed and classified
Miscellaneous, it will be seen that the police office is
thought by a great many to be the proper place to
adjust difficulties of all kinds, and the number of
complaints investigated (many of which are family
quarrels), may to some extent account for the neces-
sity of an office of this kind. In the many cases of
disturbances and theft occurring the past year, but
few were caught in the act. And in several cases the
perpetrators were unknown to the officers, but here
the beneficial results of a well regulated department
are made available for the public good, as a daily

30

evening report is made at the police office by the
patrolmen who have been keeping silent guard over
their several districts. Thus, when a crime has been
committed, the department is generally in the posses-
sion of some knowledge, or some little fact, however
small, that eventually leads to the detection of the
criminal.

LIQUOR LAW.

The number of prosecutions made under the liquor
law, exceeds that of former years, and may be at-
tributed to the increase of dram shops and disorderly
places. Prosecutions have been entered against, with
a view to suppress all places where thieves and idle
persons congregate, where shops are found open on
the Lord's day, and all places complained of as being
disorderly. On proper investigation, no one will for
a moment doubt, the necessity of making such pros-
ecutions, and in some degree prevent the misery aris-
ing from the excessive use of strong drink by persons
who, unable to control themselves, violently abuse
their family.

Police office, lockTup, and accommodation for lodg-
ers should, in my opinion, b>e all in one building suitable
to accommodate twenty or more persons. At pre-
sent the lock-up contains only three cells, and at times
during the past year, we have had more prisoners
than could be accommodated, and were obliged to
commit them to jail in Cambridge. In closing my
report, I desire to express my sincere thanks to the
board of selectmen for the uniform kindness extended

31

to me during the past year. I also have testimony
that the major part of the force under my charge are
honorable and faithful men, who believe the duty of a
policeman to be an honorable and respectable one,
and who do all in their power to make it so. Such
men are entitled to the thanks of their superiors and
the support and confidence of the public.

Respectfully submitted,

MELVILLE C. PARKHURST,

Captain of Police.
Somerville, December 31, 1871.

EEPOET OF COMMITTEE ON EIEE DEPARTMENT.

Someryille, Dec. 30, 1871.

We have again to congratulate our citizens on the
small loss of property by fire during the year so
nearly closed.

The steam fire-engine house on Highland avenue
has been completed during the year, and placed in
charge of the engineers of the fire department.

It has accommodation for the steam fire-engine,
horse hose carriage, five horses, and also for washing
and drying at one time twenty-eight hundred feet of
leading hose. The total cost of the building,
including alarm bell, steam heating apparatus, grad-
ing, etc., is twenty thousand five hundred and sev-
enty-six dollars and thirty-one cents.

The purchase of the new horse hose carriage,

32

horse, hose, etc., was referred to the board of engi-
neers; of the appropriation for said purchase, the
sum of three thousand one hundred and nine dollars
and eighty-eight cents has been expended. The
engineers have ordered the balance of the hose called
for under the appropriation, and it will arrive and be
tested in a few days.

There was much delay in procuring a suitable
location for the new Winter Hill hose house, occa-
sioned by the unwillingness of owners of real estate
in the Winter Hill district to sell for that purpose; a
lot was finally secured on Marshall street, near
Broadway, which, it is believed gives general satis-
faction to the inhabitants of said district. The
building has been commenced and is progressing
slowly, great difficulty being experienced in getting
the contractor to do the work as fast as the com-
mittee desire.

A petition was received, late in the season, for the
purchase of a hose carriage, and the erection of a
suitable building for the same, near the "Willow
Bridge house."

There being no appropriation for the purpose, and
it being so near the expiration of the year, it was re-
ferred to the incoming city government,

In consequence of the rapid growth of the west-
erly part of the town, your committee recommend
that the hose house, when built, be located near the
Lincoln school-house.

A petition from Chas. A. Southworth, and others,
for the location of a hose carriage, and the formation

33

of a company for the same, in the Franklin school dis-
trict, was received the last week in December, and
referred to the incoming city government.

We would again call attention to the lack of any
suitable means for an alarm, in case of fire at the
westerly part of the town.

The fire apparatus of the town is in good order,
the department thoroughly organized, and when the
hose now ordered arrives and is put into commission,
it is believed by your committee that the town will
have a department as effective for the suppression of
fire, as any of its size in the vicinity of Boston.

REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER.

Somerytlle, Jan. 5, 1871.

To THE HOX. BOAKD OF SELECTMEN":

Gentlemen^ — In compliance with the usual custom,
I herewith submit the annual report respecting the
number of fires and alarms, together with a state-
ment in regard to the condition of the houses and
apparatus belonging to the department, with a few
recommendations for further improvements.

Since my last report the department has been called
out thirty-seven times, nineteen times to fires in town ,

34

and eighteen times to fires in Cambridge and Charles-
town.

CONDITION OF ENGINE AND HOSE HOUSES.

The houses occupied by the department are in bet-
ter condition than they were a year since. The new
house for the steamer on Highland avenue has been
completed, and wras occupied by the company for the
first time July 20th. It is regarded as the finest
building of the kind in the State.

JOHN E. WOOL HOSE HOUSE.

This house has been painted throughout and other-
wise improved and is in good condition.

WINTER HILL HOSE HOUSE.

At the April meeting of the town it was voted to
procure land and erect a building for the use of the
company. The building is in progress and will be
completed the present winter.

GEO. H. POSTER HOSE HOUSE.

This carriage occupies a part of the building on
"Washington street, formerly used as steamer house,
but has poor accommodation, and I would recommend
that the lock-up be removed from this building as soon
as other quarters are furnished for that purpose, and
that the room now occupied by that be taken in con-
nection with that used by the hose company, making
a great deal more comfortable room.

35

SPRING HILL HOSE.

This carriage occupies a building on Summer
street owned by Mr. Pitman, and has poor accommo-
dations. I would recommend the erection of a build-
ing near the junction of Summer and Cedar streets,
suitable for the accommodation of a horse hose
carriage. I think such a carriage is very much
needed in this locality, owing to the number of
wooden buildings being erected there.

PRESCOTT HOOK AND LADDER.

This carriage occupies a portion of the building
on Washington street formerly used by the steamer,
and is much better accommodated than at the time
of my last report. Since then the room has been
thoroughly repaired and painted and is in good con-
dition. I would say in this connection that neither
of the companies in this building have any room in
which to hold their meetings, and I would recom-
mend that the hall in this building be divided into
suitable rooms for the accommodation of these two
companies.

WATER.

The supply has been somewhat increased the past
year; yet there are a great many places where a bet-
ter supply is much needed, and the department has
at several fires the past year, labored under great dis-
advantage for the want of a better supply.

That portion of our town situated on the south side
of the Fitchburg railroad has the poorest supply,

36

and there being a number of large manufacturing
establishments in this vicinity, we are liable to have a
second Chicago disaster.

TELEGRAPH ALAEM.

I would again call the attention of the citizens to
this subject, as I consider it one of great importance,
and many of our citizens can testify to its benefits.
Our neighboring cities have adopted it and recom-
mend it very highly. Under the present system it is
impossible to communicate an alarm from one part of
the town to the other when there is a high wind, the
bells for that purpose being small. 1 hope this sub-
ject will have careful consideration.

THE STRENGTH OP THE DEPARTMENT.

The department consists of a chief engineer and
four assistants, one steam engine and horse hose car-
riage run in connection with it, with a company of
ten men who do duty only in case of fire, an engineer
of steamer and two drivers, who are permanently
employed. The steamer and hose carriage in charge
of this company have had some trifling repairs the
past year, and are in good condition. There are
three horses at this station.

JOHN E. WOOL HOSE.

This is a four-wheeled carriage, drawn by hand,
and has a company of fifteen men. I would recom-
mend the purchase of a horse hose carriage for this

37

company, as I do not think that men should be
required to do the work of a horse.

WINTER HILL, HOSE 2.

This is a two-wheeled carriage, drawn by a com-
pany of fifteen men. I would recommend the pur-
chase of a horse carriage for this company, as the
new house built for them is arranged for that pur-
pose, and I hope you will give it your consideration.

GEORGE H. FOSTER, HOSE 3.

This is a four-wheeled carriage drawn by a horse,
and was placed in the department in May last, and I
think it has proved beyond a doubt the advantage of
horse power over hand in drawing the carriage to
and from fires, and it only requires ten men to make
it very efficient, one of whom, the driver, is perma-
nently employed at this station.

SPRING HILL HOSE.

This carriage was purchased some two years since,
but never has been placed in the department, and has
no company attached.

I would recommend that a horse hose be located in
the westerly part of the town.

There are a great many wooden buildings being
erected there, and there should be some better protec-
tion against fire, as there is no apparatus west of
School street.

38

PRESCOTT HOOK AND LADDER.

This is drawn by a horse, and has a company of
twelve men, and is an important branch of the de-
partment. This carriage is in good condition.

i

HOSE.

There is at present abont 6,000 feet of hose in the
department, the most part of which is in good condi-
tion. It is divided between the several companies.

HYDRANTS.

For a list of hydrants I refer you to the report of
the water committee, as I am informed that the
chairman is preparing a list for publication.

I would call the attention of the city government
to the practice of some builders in the construction
of the flues in their buildings whereby they are very
dangerous.

I would also call their attention to the careless
practice of placing ashes in wooden vessels.

The total loss by fire the past year as near as could
be ascertained, has been twenty-one thousand dollars,
on which there was an insurance of seventeen thou-
sand, leaving a balance of four thousand dollars over
insurance.

I would, at this time, state that the best of feeling
has prevailed throughout the department the past
year.

The members have performed their duties faith-

39

fully, and I think our department will compare favor-
ably with those of our neighboring cities and towns.

I would take this opportunity to return my sincere
thanks to your honorable board generally, and par-
ticularly to the committee on fire department from
your board, to my assistant engineers, and to the
department generally; also to the captain and all of
the police force, and to all others who have aided in
any way, either by counsel or otherwise.

I would not forget to thank my friends Chief Engi-
neer John S. Damrell, of the Boston department, and
his assistants; also Chief Magoun, of Charlestown,
Chief Raymond, of Cambridge, Chief Sampson, of
Medford, and their various assistants, and my friends
generally, for their kind support.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

DAVID A. SANBORN, Jr.,

Chief Engineer Somerville Fire Department.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS.

No claim of importance has been presented against
the town during the past season. The suit of Mrs.
Brook, in which exceptions were pending in the
supreme judicial court, has been finally decided
against the town. The liability of Mr. Campbell to
the town has not been tested.

The suit of Hugh Mullin, for injuries alleged to
have been sustained in a trench of the water pipes, is

40

still pending, and is defended under the direction of
water committee.

The suit of Miss Ada A. Byrnes, pending at time
of the last annual report, has been adjusted and the
suit dismissed. A suit has been commenced by
Hugh Carney, claiming damages on account of the
grading of Belmont street. This suit is now pend-
ing in the superior court for the county of Middle-
sex. This is the only case now pending of which
the selectmen have a direct charge.

A claim was made against the town for damages
alleged to have been sustained by William Humphrey,
from an obstruction in Elm street, near Broadway.
It was generally felt that the town in this matter
were liable, and the claim was accordingly adjusted
by the payment of $300.

This is one of the cases of obstruction to our streets
where there was great difficulty in fixing the respon-
sibility upon the right parties, and the town must
consequently sustain the loss. On the whole, we may
consider the past year a fortunate one in the number
of accidents on our highways, and in the number of
claims made from all causes.

REPOET OF COMMITTEES ON GAS.

Youk committee are pleased to find that the citi-
zens more fully appreciate the matter of lighting our
streets by gas, twenty-one new posts having been

41

added the past year, all of which have been paid for

by private subscription, making the whole number

now lighted by gas (213) two hundred and thirteen,

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

It is a pleasure to be able to report that the sani-
tary condition of the town during the period since
the last annual report, has been, with trifling excep-
tions, excellent. Three or four cases of small-pox
have occurred, and these were confined to the locality
where their appearance was first made known.

~No other cases of contagious diseases have come
to the knowledge of the board, and bating the few
cases of sickness ordinarily incident to this climate,
the inhabitants may be regarded as fortunate in its
exemption from, the ravages of disease. Serious
attention has been called during the past season to
other matters pertaining to the duties of the board as
a health committee.

Miller's river and creek are rapidly becoming the
receptacle of filth, and the sources of offensive odors j

42

contributory to this are drains, stagnant water and
the business of slaughtering and rendering, estab-
lished along the line. In Somerville and Cambridge,
the management of an affair of such magnitude is
naturally attended with great difficulties, involving
as they do grave responsibilities, large expenditures,
and treatment of conflicting interests.

This is true, even when no question as to the legal
authority to act exists. The case becomes still more
embarrassing when the most obvious remedy cannot
be applied from the want of such authority. The
most effectual means to remove this great cause of
complaint is, by the construction of trunk sewers, of
such magnitude and in such location, as to carry off
the accumulation of filth, at the same time by filling
up the flats and low lands bordering upon the line of
the creek. This will be rendered more feasible and
economical by accepting the invitation of the city of
Cambridge, to join with them in obtaining an act
from the legislature which shall confer the power
sufficient to overcome the existing evil. A petition
has already been published by that city, asking for
such an act. Your committee urgently recommend
this course.

The keeping of swine has already become a flagrant
source of filth and inconvenience to the inhabitants.
It may not, perhaps, be known to our citizens in what
numbers the animals are raised in our midst.

Many persons engage in the business as a source
of profit. The business is aggravated by the impor-
tation of swill from the neighboring cities. The

43

power to remove this evil is inadequate in town
officers. Numerous notices have been served on the
owners, and much pains have been taken to render
the localities where swine are kept clean and less
open to complaint. Nothing, however, in the judg-
ment of your committee, will satisfy the reasonable
demands of the community against this growing
nuisance but prohibition. The density of our popu-
lation, visible to the most casual observer, renders the
call for reform in this direction the more imperative.
The pit-holes in the neighborhood of Franklin street
have several times been visited with a view of reliev-
ing the residents in that vicinity from the causes which
are operating to create a nuisance in their midst.
SGme remedy must soon be applied to check the same
the coming season.

NEW STREET ORDERED.

The county commissioners have laid out a street,
nearly parallel with the Lowell railroad, leading from
West Medford to College avenue, making a junction
near the railroad bridge at College Hill Station.

This street crosses Mystic river over the old canal
bridge, which will have to be widened, one half of

44

which is in Somerville. It crosses a corner of Som-
erville territory, and the commissioners have ordered
it bnilt. The selectmen of Medford will notify Som-
erville when Medford is ready to begin the work.

MYSTIC RIVER BRIDGE.

The legislature, in the year 1869, authorized and
empowered the county commissioners to lay out a
highway and construct a pile bridge and draw across
Mystic river, " if, in their judgment, the public con-
venience and necessity require it." [See chapter 187
General Laws and Resolves.] They have decided to
lay out this higlrway and construct the bridge and
draw, but have not definitely fixed upon the route, or
location. The cost of constructing the Somerville
portion is variously estimated at forty to sixty thou-
sand dollars, depending upon the length of the bridge
and at what point its junction is made with Mystic
avenue.

The expense of constructing this highway and
bridge is to be assessed on the towns benefited in
proportion to the benefit received. As Somerville
will gain but little, great care ought to be taken that
her assessments do not exceed the benefits received.

This avenue begins in Stoneham and comes through
Maiden, Edgeworth, Wellington farm and ten hill
farm, to Mystic avenue.

SETTLEMENT WITH LATE COLLECTOR.

The estate of Benj. Randall, late collector, having
been declared insolvent the account has been pre-

i

45

sented to the commissioner appointed to adjust
claims, and allowed. It is probable that the estate
will pay a large percentage. The sureties on the
collector's bond were early notified of the state of
affairs, and have made no question as to their lia-
bility, although no suit has been brought against
them. The dividend will soon be paid by the ad-
ministrator, when the exact deficiency will be ascer-
tained.

WATERING STREETS.

An appropriation of twenty-five hundred dollars
was made at the April meeting to be used in defray-
ing the expenses of watering streets, provided the
citizens would, by subscription, pay one half the
cost.

The experiment has been tried on Milt street from
East Cambridge line to its junction with Elm street;
also, in Union square, and on Washington street from
the square to the bridge over the Fitchburg rail-
road.

The whole expense has been sixteen hundred and
seventy dollars, of which sum, one half has been
charged to the appropriation as will appear by the
treasurer's report. The other half has been collected
of subscribers who live in the vicinity of the streets
watered. So far as we know, the subscribers are
well satisfied with the result, and the selectmen think
the town's money not unprofitably expended.

46

REMARKS.

During the year the general condition of our streets
has been much improved; sewers have been con-
structed, cesspools built, gas and water pipes laid in
many of the streets. These improvements being
carried on in all parts of the town have given it an
appearance of life, enterprise, and activity, that
never fails to attract the attention of observing and
public-spirited men.

Fires, incendiary or otherwise, have been very rare
during the year. The interest manifested in the fire
department by the citizens, in cheerfully and promptly
furnishing it with buildings and apparatus of the
most approved style and quality, having all the
modern improvements and conveniences, has done
much to elevate the firemen, increase their interest
in the department, stimulate their pride, and encour-
age them in the prompt and faithful performance of
their arduous duties.

The general quiet that has prevailed throughout
the town, its freedom from breaks, from larceny, from
wanton and wilful destruction of property by lawless
and unprincipled men, from disgraceful fights and
disturbances of all kinds, shows that the inhabitants
of Somerville are generally a peaceful and law abid-
ing people.

The existence of a well organized, prompt and
efficient police force, tends to curb the vicious pro-
pensities in those who are disposed to do evil, if any

48

there be, and renders persons and property secure
against their acts and appliances.

It is with much pleasure that we assure our fellow-
citizens of the continued prosperity of the town.
Dwellings have been erected the past year in num-
bers unprecedented; notwithstanding the great num-
ber of tenements finished this season, the supply is
not equal to the demand.

"With a rapid increase in population comes an
equally increased demand for public improvements;
if these two can be made to keep equal pace with
each other without increasing too much the burdens
of taxation, there is no good reason why the ~New
City may not in the future be as prosperous as the
Old Town has been in the past.

JACKSON SCHOOL HOUSE.

This building has been raised one story within the
year, at a cost of about $2,500. The first story is
brick, and contains a room for fuel, and rooms for the
ianitor and entries for the pupils.

HAEVAED PRIMARY SCHOOL HOUSE.

This building, valued at $1,000, and insured for
$800, was burnt March 15th. Origin of the fire un-

91

known. It was constructed in 1843, on Broadway,
near Mount Benedict, as a Grammar School House,
for the accommodation of East Somerville and Win-
ter Hill. It was moved to Beacon street in 1318,
and enlarged in 1861.

BELL PRIMARY SCHOOL HOUSE.

This building was constructed in 1851, on Cherry
street, and was named in honor of Dr. Luther V.
Bell, who was a member of the school board from
1813 to 1817.

In 1867, it was moved to the rear of Franklin
School House, and occupied by the Franklin Primary
school until the completion of Morse School House.
In April last, it was removed to Beacon street, and is
now called the Harvard Primary School House.

In consequence of these changes, the committee
adopted the following: —

: Wliereas The School-house known as the Bell Primary
School House, has been removed to a new locality, and the
name thereof changed : and ivhereas it is the desire of this
school board to perpetuate thememoiyof Dr. Luther V. Bell,
a citizen so eminent in his profession, and so strong in his at-
tachment to the interest of the schools ; therefore,

Resolved, That this board recommend that the name of
" Bell " be given to the next large school building erected in
Somerville.

EDGERLY SCHOOL HOUSE.

At a meeting of the town, held on the 27th
day of April last, $25,000 were appropriated to pur-

92

chase land in Prescott district, and to construct
thereon a brick school-house containing four school-
rooms.

At their meeting, May 1, the school committee
made choice of the following named gentlemen for
building committee : —

Horace P. Hemenway, Saml. A. Carlton,
Henry F. Spencer, Joshua H. Davis.

As a token of respect for John S. Edgerly, Esq.,
the committee decided to name the building the
Edgerly school-house.

A lot of land containing 26,428 feet, and situated
on Cross street, between Bonaire and Otis streets,
was purchased for 25 cents per foot.

A contract was made with Daniel L. Lord, Esq.,
of Chelsea, to construct and complete the building
above the foundation, ready to receive the school
furniture, for $14,693.00 the committee furnishing the
ventilators, registers, and snow-guards. Mr. Lord
fulfilled his contract to the entire satisfaction of the
committee.

The plans and specifications for this beautiful and
substantial building were furnished by S. S. Wood-
cock, Esq., of this town.

The building is forty-five by sixty-two feet on the
ground, and two stories high, with a basement mostly
above ground. The walls are of pressed brick. The
base and belt courses and window-sills are granite.

93

The tablet is freestone. The inside finish is ash and
walnut. The floors and stairs are hard pine. The
basement contains the heating apparatus, a room for
fuel, rooms for the janitors, and two spacious entries
for the pupils. Each of the two stories has two
school-rooms. These rooms are thirty feet square
and twelve feet eight inches high in the clear. Com-
municating with the school-rooms there are con-
venient clothes-rooms for the pupils and closets for
the teachers. The halls and stairways are light and
spacious. The building is warmed by furnaces.
Two of the school-rooms were occupied by schools
Monday, Dec. 18th.

HIGH SCHOOL HOUSE.

At a meeting of the town, held on the 12th day of
November, 1870, $60,000 were appropriated to con-
struct a High School House on Highland avenue.

The building was located by the selectmen and
school committee in joint convention.

Messrs. Samuel A. Carlton, Joshua H. Davis, and

94

Oren S. Knapp, were chosen a building committee by
the school board.

The plans and specifications were furnished by
S. J. F. Thayer, Esq., of Boston. A contract was
made with Messrs. Rawson, of Boston, to construct
the building in accordance with the plans and specifi-
cations of Mr. Thayer, for $49,995.00. The cost of
the building will not exceed the amount appropriated.

The year just closing marks an interesting period
in our history. Our almost unprecedented growth
has rendered a change of organization from town to
city desirable.

Thirty years ago, when the town was organized, it
was mainly a farming district, sparsely populated and
but slightly developed. It contained no church edi-
fice, and only four small school-houses, constructed
and furnished after the manner of country district
school-houses of that period. But it was rich in the
enterprise of its inhabitants, and has ever been fortu-
nate in having at the head of public affairs, men of
broad and liberal views on all matters of general in-
terest and utility.

Whatever of excellence pertains to our schools at
the present time, is due largely to the impulse and
direction given to them by those to whom their in-
terests were early committed.

The years which have intervened since the town
was incorporated have been eventful years; and the

107

advance of time increases our desire that more of the
interesting items of its early history may be placed
upon record, while they are fresh in the memory of
our older citizens.

Events often possess an interest proportioned to
their remoteness. What is regarded of small mo-
ment at the time of its occurence, may be reviewed
with intense interest at remote periods. " Distance/'
in time as well as space, " lends enchantment."

ENCOURAGEMENTS.

In many respects the review of our school record
is highly gratifying. The importance of education
in its comprehensive signification is duly appreciated
by the community. Money is liberally appropriated
and the material wants of the schools are generously
furnished. We are well supplied with substantial
school buildings, pleasantly located and in good
repair. Several of these are beautiful in construction
and are ornaments to the neighborhoods where they
are located. All of the school-rooms are spacious
and commodious, and well furnished with needful
appliances for the comfort and convenience of pupils.
Teachers are generally accomplishing their work
faithfully, and many of them with a skill and devo-
tion rarely surpassed. Parents, with very few
exceptions, cheerfully co-operate in efforts to secure
the highest degree of efficiency. Our schools are
not only sustaining their former reputation, but are
making important advances. They compare favor-

108

ably with those of other towns and cities in the
vicinity, in scholarship, in the average whole number
and average attendance of pupils in proportion to
the entire school population, and in the number of
graduates from the High and Grammar schools.

Our High school has never been in a more prom-
ising condition than at the present time. With great
confidence we can commend it to the patronage of
our citizens. Many of the other schools are of the
highest order. Were not comparisons odious, we
would specify some in which may be witnessed nearly
the perfection of the art of teaching. Could all
become equally meritorious, our highest wish con-
cerning them would be fully realized.

The order of most of the schools is unexception-
able. To secure it, our best teachers rarely resort
to other than mild measures and an appeal to the
highest motives. It is delightful to witness the quiet
pleasure that radiates from a school where the in-
fluence, that w draws all to agree," is the invincible
power of kindness. We may respect the power that
forcibly compels, where compulsion is a necessity ; but
our hearts yield cheerfully to those moral forces that
win by their attractions. " Draw me," says the sacred
writer, "we will run after thee."

It promises well for the future success of the
schools, that so many of our teachers are availing
themselves of the means at their command for mental
improvement, and for acquiring increased skill for
their important work. We always teach others best,
when *ve are the most industrious students ourselves.

109

A principle of reciprocity applies here. Teachers
who add to their qualifications that they may improve
their schools, thereby enhance their own value. We
do well to heed the injunction of the quaint old
proverb, —

" Oh, square thyself for use : a stone that may
Fit in the wall, is left not by the way."

We should remember, also, that this progressive
age will not tarry for those who are content with
present attainments.

To maintain the high reputation which our schools
have enjoyed in the past, and to keep pace with all
the improvements in systems of education, requires
incessant vigilance, and untiring devotion on the part
of those to whose care they are entrusted. But when
these results are secured, our work is only partially
performed. We ought not to be satisfied with what
is being accomplished until the highest degree of
excellence is attained, and every person within the
ages limiting the legal period of pupilage is availing
himself of all the advantages fui nished for gaining
an education.

DISCOURAGEMENTS.

Our school records show that after making proper
deduction for those in attendance over fifteen years of
age, the average attendance during the year, has been
2,187 which is only 77.4 per cent of our school popu-
lation; and the average whole number has been
2,350 which is 83.2 per cent of the school population.

110

Hence, 16.8 per cent of our population between the
ages of five and fifteen years, or 475 persons have
derived no benefit from our schools during the year.
In this computation no account has been made of the
increase since the first day of May last.

After making suitable deduction for those under
fifteen years of age, who are engaged in some useful
employment, there still remains a large number of
persons who are growing up in ignorance and idle-
ness, and consequently in vice.

Again, the gradual diminution of the several
classes, from the lowest class in the Primary school
to the first class in the High school, as shown in our
summary, indicates that only a very small proportion
of our pupils complete the entire course of study
prescribed for the public schools, and that large num-
bers leave school while their minds are immature and
before they are sufficiently disciplined to grasp and
comprehend the studies pursued.

It becomes a grave question, and one in which
every citizen is personally interested, how shall these
evils be remedied, and the benefits of education more
generally diffused.

Recent developments in the history of nations
more strongly confirm the truth so generally ad-
mitted, that the prosperity and permanency of any
commonwealth can be hoped for only as its citizens
are intelligent and virtuous.

Many of our wisest and most conservative educa-
tors are seriously entertaining the belief, that self-
preservation will compel our government to follow

Ill

the lead of Prussia and several other European
nations in the matter of compulsory education.
Cogent arguments are adduced in favor of such a
course, and we entertain no doubt that the time will
soon come when not only the necessity, but the
humanity of compulsory education will be admitted
by reflecting minds all over our land, and suitable
laws will not only be enacted, but universally en-
forced, whereby every child, not mentally or physi-
cally incapacitated, will not only be provided with
the means of education, but will become educated.

Meanwhile, we will labor so to increase the excel-
lence of our schools that few will be willing to forego
their advantages. We will smooth the rugged paths
of learning and render the ways of knowledge so
attractive that they will entice those to walk therein
whose feet would otherwise wander. We will omit
no suitable means to maintain a healthy sentiment in
the community, and to exalt the importance of educa-
tion in the estimation of all.

CHANGES.

The usual number of changes have occurred
among our lady teachers during the year. Most of
those who have resigned have had long and successful
experience and were among our most highly-valued
teachers. It acquires not only a rare combination of
endowments, natural and acquired, but long and
careful practice, to constitute teachers of high value,
and the community sustains a loss not easily repaired
when such resign.

112

DIFFERENT STUDIES.

The studies assigned to the schools vary in impor-
tance. A right apportionment of time and attention
to each, must be left mainly to the judgment of
teachers, — the greatest prominence being given
always to those that are of the highest practical im-
portance, and are most frequently applied in the
ordinary duties of life.

Many of these studies enter into and mutually aid
each other. While any one of them is being taught
in the best manner, much instruction is imparted that
will apply to several others. Thus, geography and
history are mutual aids; so are writing and drawing.
Pupils make equally rapid improvement in penman-
ship, when one hour each week, usually devoted to
writing, is spent in drawing. Whatever requires the
use of crayon, pencil or pen, improves the pupils
writing, provided there is suitable pains taking; and
surely, nothing should be done carelessly in the school-
room. Grammar is taught in every exercise, since
no violation of its rule is allowed to pass without
correction. Due regard is paid to articulation,
inflection, accent, emphasis, pitch and tone, in all that
pupils utter; hence, every exercise is a lesson in elo-
cution. Spelling is best taught in connection with
other studies, and should become a part of every
exercise. In the higher classes, more especially, we
would advise less attention to the set words of the
spelling-book, and more attention to the new words
entering into every recitation. Such a practice
teaches pupils to be observant of the orthography of

113

words in general use and in their connection with
other words.

BEADING.

Reading is well taught by many of our teachers;
and the schools are receiving instruction in elocution
from a lady of rare accomplishments in this important
branch of public instruction.

Good reading holds a prominent place in public
esteem. Many of our best writers and thinkers are
engaged in devising methods for securing it more
generally in our public schools.

Since the proper cultivation of the voice enters so
largely into the work of every school, it is a matter
for congratulation that facilities for vocal culture are
being multiplied; and the desire of teachers for more
careful training in this department is increasing.

The comparison of different schools leads us to
conclude that some of our best teachers of reading,
devote too much time to a limited number of pieces.
This practice gives undue prominence to vocal culture
and necessarily restricts pupils to a narrow range of
subjects and authors.

It is well for each teacher to have for drill exercises,
a choice selection of pieces, containing different styles
of composition, as narrative, descriptive, colloquial,
didactic, dramatic; but practice upon these should
not absorb an undue proportion of time and attention.

A familiarity with words in general use, sufficient
to enable one to read with fluency, is acquired only
by careful observation of their form and construction.

8

But, after several repetitions, pupils recite their
" drill exercises " from memory ; their eyes rest but
carelessly if at all upon the words uttered; hence,
much of the" discipline which should result from
exercises in reading is lost.

In good rhetorical reading, the eye, the ear, the
vocal organs, the intellect and the sensibilities, all
perforin an important part. Each one of these should
receive its due share of time and attention; and that
system of instruction is best that calls all of them
into the most frequent and active exercise.

If we analyze the process of reading, we shall
observe the following order: The eye takes the lead.
Its familiarity with written language enables it to
take in at a glance entire sentences. The mind
quickly comprehends the author's meaning and the
emotions he would awaken ; and the sensibilities come
at once into sympathy with the spirit of the writer.
Then the vocal organs, being well disciplined and
under good control, and guided by a quick, discrim-
inating ear, give utterance and expression to all the
shades of thought and emotion, as they are appre-
hended.

The ability to accomplish this effectively is the
result of long practice and careful culture.

The vocal organs acquire the ability to enunciate
words with distinctness, accuracy and fluency by
exercise, and usually by imitating those who have
been well disciplined. This cultivation of the voice
is indispensable to good rhetorical reading, and must
be duly regarded; but it constitutes only one element
in the process.

115

The ability to comprehend quickly the author's
meaning, and to bring the sensibilities at once into
sympathy with the emotions he would awaken, is
still more important, and is acquired only by the most
careful attention, habitual reflection and frequent
contact with the thoughts, language and sensibilities
of many writers. Without this culture there can be
no natural, effective, rhetorical reading ; and to secure
it to his pupils should be the constant endeavor of
every teacher.

WRITING AND DRAWING.

Writing is well taught, and pupils are making
commendable improvement in this important art.

Drawing is under the direction of special teachers.
Very good progress is being made in most of the
schools. This is, comparatively, a new branch of
study, and the work that is being performed, even in
the higher classes, is mainly elementary; and like all
pioneer work, is slow, and exhibits but imperfect
results. As pupils who are receiving the elementary
drill in the lower classes are promoted, they will be
prepared for more advanced work, and when they
graduate will exhibit the full benefits of a thorough,
systematic course of instruction.

Drawing is no longer an experiment, but a legal-
ized branch of study for our public schools, and is
gaining daily in popular favor.

We would counsel our teachers to omit no oppor-
tunity for qualifying themselves for what will be
required of them in this direction.

116

Arrangements have been completed for an even-
ing school for instruction in mechanical or industrial
drawing. We have secured the services of Mr. Lu-
cas Baker, a highly accomplished teacher, and a gen-
tleman in all respects, worthy of public confidence.
Drawing boards, paper, and squares, will be furnished
at the expense of the town.

HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY.

In history and geography, great latitude must
necessarily be given to teachers in making selections
of what should be carefully studied, and what should
be read only in a cursory manner. We would en-
courage map drawing. Each pupil should be able
to draw accurately from memory every map studied.

We would recommend to teachers a careful exam-
ination of the valuable hints appended to our school
history, on the method of teaching that important
and interesting branch of study.

MUSIC.

Music is under the direction of a competent in-
structor, and is pursued with the interest and enthu-
siasm of former years.

GRAMMAR AND ARITHMETIC.

Our pupils are generally well instructed in gram-
mar and arithmetic. We could wish, however, that
exercises in mental arithmetic were more frequent in
all the classes of the Grammar schools. We are fully

117

aware that the question so frequently raised, "Where
is the time to come from?" is a pertinent question.
If our resources are limited we should husband them
with greater care. Much can be accomplished in the
hours assigned to school work, when they are syste-
matically and industriously employed. The machin-
ery of .the school should be simple, requiring no use-
less waste of time to move it, for time is a precious
item in the school-room, and should never be ex-
pended needlessly. The judicious machinist aims
at simplicity of arrangement, that he may thereby
diminish friction and lesson the liability to derange-
ment. That school is managed best where there is
the least show of management ; and those who control
the best, seem to control the least. The sooner a
school is put in working order, and the less interrup-
tions there are to substantial work, the better for all
connected with it. A well-organized and thoroughly
busy school has a self-propelling power, and runs on
harmoniously without loss of time or needless expen-
diture of energy.

For the Committee.

J. H. DAYIS,
Superintendent oj Public Schools,

SOMERYILLE, Dec. 30, 1871.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.

In the over-crowded condition of this school, the
daily tasks of the pupils are performed under great
inconveniences and with extreme difficulty. Irregu-

118

lariti.es are unavoidable, and temptations are multi-
plied. If, in the year past, anything like the former
standard of attainment had been reached, the com-
mittee would have been more than satisfied. The
annual examination, however, showed that notwith-
standing all the hindrances, the progress of the
school, in every respect, was most gratifying. A
marked interest was manifested in the various stud-
ies, and the answers gave evidence of a habit of
accurate and thorough investigation. This secures
that scholarly self-reliance which can be obtained in
no other way. The " short and easy methods " for
acquiring that which, in the nature of things, must
always demand hard labor and diligent research, do
little more than cause impatience and final discour-
agement. There must be judgment and wisdom in
the matter of instruction. To render an undue
measure of assistance is perhaps more injurious than
the opposite extreme. The instructors in the several
departments of this school deserve commendation
for their care in observing that just medium here,
which ensures a suitable progress and at the same
time a healthful increase of mental power.

The whole number of pupils during the year was
two hundred and fifteen; the largest in attendance
at any one time was a hundred and sixty-one; and,
though assembled in a room intended for hardly more
than half that number, the general bearing of the
school has been marked by a courtesy, gentleness,
and thoughtful respect, at once honorable to the
pupils and encouraging to the instructors. But with

119

the advantages that will be afforded in the new and
spacious building about to be occupied, and with all
the comforts and conveniences of the cheerful study-
halls, and recitation and lecture rooms, the needful
discipline will be maintained without difficulty, and
made to resemble, more and more, that of a well-
ordered home.

The number graduated this year was thirty-three,
— more than double the number of the previous year.
This is an indication which we hail with especial
pleasure. It betokens a growing appreciation of the
importance of giving to our youth an education that
may well be called liberal when it is remembered that
our present course of study in the High school is
fully equal to that which, only a few years ago, was
pursued in mauy of our colleges.

Other things being equal, the preference is given
to those who graduate from this school, when places
are to be filled in the ranks of the teachers. This is
but justice to our own. First to our common schools,
for we thus know the training such have received for
this work; and secondly, to those who have com-
pleted the course. And it is a reward for merit that
is not without its value to those who desire this post
of honorable service.

The class preparing for college is unusually large.
But when the facilities offered here for a thorough
preparation for the college studies are considered,
together with the fact of our proximity to these
higher institutions, it would seem that these classes
should be much larger than they now are.

120

The services of Mr. Marston, a graduate of Colby
University, and a successful teacher, have been se-
cured. Miss Graves has returned, and is gladly wel-
comed to the post which she has so long and so well
filled. In closing this report we will only add, that
the principal and his able assistants have diligently
and faithfully discharged their duties, and that the
general condition of this school is highly satisfac-
tory.

GEORGE W. DURELL,

Chairman of the High School Committee.

GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

The examination of the Grammar schools was
conducted out of the ordinary course. Your com-
mittee are aware that teachers often adapt their
course of study and manner of recitation somewhat
with reference to the anticipated examination. This
time the teachers and pupils were thrown off their
guard, and made to show their proficiency, or lack
of it, in unexpected fields of investigation. The
result was, as was anticipated, the examinations were
not, with but one exception, generally so brilliant as
usual. Teachers have usually confined their pupils
within certain well-defined limits of study. In some
schools the whole drill in reading has been limited to
three or four selections for an entire term. These
three or four pieces were well read. We tried each

121

class in some lesson they had not read, and in some
schools these unprasticed selections were read very
unsatisfactorily. We tried them in spelling from
the reader and in spelling exercises that had been
studied by the same pupils while members of a lower
class; and while very difficult words were spelled
correctly within the given limits, very simple words
were misspelled on pages the same pupils had learned
some previous term. We gave a pupil a problem to
perform on a page in the arithmetic not so far in
advance as the class next lower had been. The
teacher said ber pupils had not studied that principle,
— she " was not responsible for them there, — they
studied that part of the arithmetic before they came
to her room." We think this a mistake. Pupils
should be taught to read at sight and should prac-
tice on certain few selections in reading as exercises
in vocal drill. They should be taught to spell all the
common words in use, even though they may not be
found on certain pages in the speller. If a teacher
in a lower division has not done her work well, the
mischief should be repaired by reviews in the upper
classes. It is but fair to say that some schools
suffered none in our change in the method of con-
ducting the examinations; by a system of reviews
and a judicious selection of general and somewhat
miscellaneous instruction, their classes examined
nearly as well outside the given limits as within.

O. S. KNAPP,

SUB-GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

But few changes have occurred in the arrangement
and management of schools of this grade since our
last annual report.

The recent examinations gave evidence that they
are in good condition, but not all are alike in point
of excellence. A marked difference in discipline and
proficiency was noticed by a comparison of several
schools with each other. Scholars in different local-
ities differ widely; yet we notice that the teachers,
more frequently than the scholars, are at fault for
whatever is lacking in general proficiency. Some
teachers have succeeded admirably under very dis-
couraging circumstancces ; their patient persistence,
in well doing is deserving of the highest praise.
Other teachers need to replenish more frequently the
fountain of their own energies, that more earnestness
may characterize their pupils, and the genial glow of
lively interest pervade all the exercises of the school.

For teachers and scholars, let hearty cheerfulness,
like fresh air and sunlight, be considered indispensa-
ble in the school-room. -

We cannot over-estimate the importance to the
scholars of the first impressions of school life. Due
care, with proper discipline and needful encourage-
ment at the start, will do much to facilitate subse-
quent progress along the pathway of learning. We
trust that no teacher in this grade of school will ever
feel that her work is bat of little consequence, or that
it may be indifferently performed. We have noticed
with regret that some of our schools suffer consider-

123

ably from the irregular attendance of scholars. Par-
ents should co-operate with teachers and do all in
their power to remedy this evil.

EDWIN MILLS,

Chairman.

PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

After the duty of the examining committee has
been performed, a reference to the papers taken on
the spot, which cover the percentages and memo-
randa made of special excellence, or the reverse in
matters of discipline, attention, neatness, and order
of the scholars, shows, with few exceptions, a very
uniform and satisfactory condition in this grade of
our public schools. The exceptions are generally in
cases of overcrowded rooms, or particularly unfortu-
nate surroundings, which render the duty of the
teacher exceedingly onerous; and although instances
of special excellence can be noted in every one, the
majority of those classed as " exceptions," we cannot
consider as up to the standard we could wish. At
the risk of making this report too long we cannot
help recording in detail the " comments of examining
committee " appended to several of the reports
before us.

1. "The order is excellent. Reading' unusually good.
The spelling very accurate. The whole appearance of the
school is satisfactory."

2. " Order excellent. Reading very good. Spelling not
good. General appearance very satisfactory. The teachers
active and pains-taking."

124

3. " Order good. Appearance of school very satis-
factory."

4. " Order good. The exercises generally were spirited,
correct, and pleasant. Pupils quiet and attentive to the task
before the school."

5. " Eeading excellent; order perfect."

6. " Order good; answers generally prompt and cor-
rect."

7. " School very large, numbering 106. Place itself
disturbed by noise and the school in sympathy with its
surroundings. The reading, however, is unusually good."

8. " First class very large, — cases of extraordinary
proficiency, and others backward, — average fair."

9. "Beading poor ; spelling better, but not good. Arith-
metic best of the three. Order bad, — restless, shuffling
of feet, and evident want of discipline."

10. " General appearance of the room is good; reading
and arithmetic better than spelling."

11. "A nice school ; excellent material and good order,
but reading poor, very poor."

12. " Reading indistinct and generally poor; arithmetic
an improvement on the reading. School generally restless,
noisy, and disorderly."

13. " Reading first class very good, clear, and generally
correct. Second class read pretty well. Arithmetic fair.
The general appearance of the school is good. The order
is excellent, scholars quiet, attentive and happy."

14. " Reading and spelling defective. Attention to small
things, such as number of page and lessons, generally
ignored."

From the foregoing, to which we call the especial
attention of the teachers, it will be seen that there is
much to correct in special instances, and we hereby

125

request those interested to govern themselves ac-
cordingly.

It is not our purpose to institute comparisons of
one school or one teacher with another by name, but
we feel that it is due to those to whom the early
training of our scholars is intrusted, that they should
know wherein they fail of securing the full approval
of the committee; and whether it be in the matter of
discipline in the school, or in one or another of the
several studies, the recollection of their charges at
the time our last official examination was made, must
be so fresh in their mind, that if anvthing- in this

%/ CD

report applies in particular to them they will carefully
consider the matter, and see to it, that the occasion
for like unfavorable report shall not exist another
time. We have only quoted from about half the file
of reports before us, and may add that in the remain-
der there was nothing calling for special mention.

AVe would, in conclusion, renew the request for
occasional home examinations. It should be remem-
bered that the whole responsibility does not rightfully
rest upon the teacher, nor that all the instruction in
books and behaviour is to be had in the schoolroom.
